In this delightful read, Ruskin Bond has written about his special friends-the majestic trees on the mountain slopes that he visits regularly and the birds, animals, and insects that visit him in his cottage. Bond is well-known for his inclination towards all things natural and his observation of them. From the oak, chestnut, deodar, and chir trees to hornbills, squirrels, langurs, mynahs, and blue jays-there's a description of them all in this collection.

Gentle, elegiac, and replete with beautiful descriptions of plants, animals, and birds, this collection is for every nature enthusiast.
