The Essential Collection for Young Readers by Ruskin Bond

Ruskin Bond has been writing stories for children for over six decades
now, delighting and enchanting each new generation of readers with his
heart-warming tales of friendship, love and coming-of-age. Curated in
this essential collection are some of his best-loved stories, designed to
introduce the young reader to Ruskin's cast of beloved characters—from the
irrepressible Rusty, with his constant thirst for adventure, to his Grandfather,
with his overflowing kindness towards all creatures great and small; from the
resolute Bina, who braves a leopard to walk to school, to Suraj and Sunder
Singh, who become unlikely friends.
Including classic tales such as 'The Girl on the Train', 'Coming Home to
Dehra', 'The Room of Many Colours' and 'The Blue Umbrella'; in turns funny,
touching, whimsical and nostalgic, this collection is a must-read for children
and adults alike.
