The Blue Umbrella is a 1980 novel by Ruskin Bond, set in a little village at the foothills of the Himalayas. The plot is about a young village girl who gains possession of a blue umbrella and becomes the envy of everybody around. It is written in a charming fashion and shines a spotlight on the delightfully uplifting innocence in children. It is a simple book for kids that has a moral.
