Indian author Ruskin Bond’s short stories have been charming generations of children for over six decades now, and the mature readers haven’t remained unglued either. Three such literary gems by the country’s 3rd-highest civilian awardee-the regimental myna, tiger My friend, and monkey trouble-have been carefully encased in the book animal stories for children. Each caters an unusual human-animal bond, while the inside illustrations are sure to provide the reader with an impactful vision of the setting and characters.
