  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
This was my first Ruskin Bond that I read for fun. I must have come across his pieces before not giving much thought to who he is. This is the first time I read him with the intentions of reading him.

The Blue Umbrella is a short and sweet story. It captures the essence of village life in a beautiful manner. I can picture this setting so easily. I've came across these scenes over and over in my short life and this is the first time I got to read them in a book for fun. The ending was so heartwarming and left a smile on my face.

Looking forward to picking up more books by Ruskin Bond in future.
