Tigers, monkeys, elephants and hill birds fill this gathering of Ruskin Bond's animal stories.
The collection brings together tales built on close observation of forest and mountain life, told in the plain, unhurried prose Bond is known for, and it includes a story not published before. Humour, quiet drama and steady affection for wildlife run through the pieces, and each one is short enough to finish comfortably in a single sitting.
What the format offers:
• Animal stories set in the forest and hill country of the Himalayas
• One previously unpublished piece alongside long-loved favourites
• Sentences simple enough for younger readers to manage alone
• An easy fit for read-aloud sessions and school library shelves
Recommended for children, teenagers and adults who like nature writing with warmth, and for family reading shelves stocked through Boipoka.
