Ruskin Bond's Children's Omnibus

Ruskin Bond’s children’s omnibus: volume 1 brings together some of his best loved stories, accompanied by delightful illustrations. Most of these stories are set in the hills,,   but their appeal is universal.

This volume included the ever-popular Grandfather’s Private Zoo, a favourite with generations of children; the two novellas, Angry River and The Blue Umbrella, both of which have children as protagonists; and short stories such as ‘Cricket for the Crocodile’ and ‘Dust on the Mountain’, which chronicle small-town life in northern India.

Simple and heart-warming, and written in Ruskin Bond’s witty and humourous style, these stories will enthral children and adults alike.
