For All Seasons

Ruskin Bond . Rupa Publications India . English

�In the spring, when the banyan tree was full of small red figs, birds of all kinds would flock into its branches, the red-bottomed bulbul, cheerful and greedy, gossiping rosy pastors, and parrots and crows, squabbling with each other all the time.�<br><br> How does the world change shape with the change of seasons? What does �A Rainy Day in June� look like? What secrets lay hidden �In Grandfather�s Garden� in the bloom of spring? Can �The Blue Umbrella�, so tiny and delicate, withstand the force of a mountain shower? <br><br> For All Seasons brings the world alive through Ruskin Bond�s searching eyes, at once restless and contemplative. Pay attention and you will hear �When the Cicadas Chorus�, be privy to the private dramas of garden animals, and feel the foot-tapping rhythm of �A Calypso Christmas� taking place a lifetime ago�
