Petals on the Ganga

This collection by Ruskin Bond has stories that are mostly autobiographical, based on the themeof nature. In these heart-warming stories, Bond talks of the various elements of nature as if theyare members of his family. He also endows the flora and fauna that he encounters with distinctpersonalities, and himself recedes into the background as a silent observer.From the mountains to the trees, from the birds that fly to his cottage, bringing a whiff of thefaraway forests they come from, to the winding paths that lead to charming gardens, Petals on theGanga will take you to nooks and corners, opening up scenes of myriad beauty.
