Friends in Wild Places Birds, Beasts and Other Companions

Description

Since he was a young boy, Ruskin Bond has made friends easily. And his most

rewarding friendships have often been with animals, birds and plants-big

and small; outgoing and shy. This collection focuses on these companions

and brings together some of Bond's finest nature stories and essays, both

classic and new. There are leopards and tigers; bulbuls and owls; bears in the

mountains and elephants on a ship; wise old forest oaks and geraniums on

balconies; a talking parrot and a tomcat called Suzie-and many more 'wild'

and wonderful friends. Beautifully illustrated, this is a lovely gem of a book.
