Description

'Sometimes, when the old tiger was very lonely, he gave a great roar, which could be heard throughout the forest. The villagers thought he was roaring in anger, but the jungle knew that he was really roaring out of loneliness. When the sound of his roar had died away, he paused, standing still, waiting for an answering roar; but it never came.' No matter how old we get or how busy our lives become, there is something about stories involving animals that tug at our hearts. In the fast-paced world of today, stories about forest animals-involving folly, adventure, joy and laughter-give us a respite from the boredom of everyday life. In My Friends from the Forest, Ruskin Bond transports us to the vibrant world of panthers, leopards, snakes, elephants and many more lovely animals. Bond's enchanting prose, along with his elegant storytelling, makes us dream of a world where we live in harmony with our friends from the forest. The stories in this collection are sure to take you on a joyful and adventurous journey through the forests of India.
