FRIENDS IN WILD PLACES BIRDS BEASTS AND OTHER COMPANIONS

<p>Description</p><p>Since he was a young boy Ruskin Bond has made friends easily. And his most</p><p>rewarding friendships have often been with animals birds and plants-big</p><p>and small; outgoing and shy. This collection focuses on these companions</p><p>and brings together some of Bond's finest nature stories and essays both</p><p>classic and new. There are leopards and tigers; bulbuls and owls; bears in the</p><p>mountains and elephants on a ship; wise old forest oaks and geraniums on</p><p>balconies; a talking parrot and a tomcat called Suzie-and many more 'wild'</p><p>and wonderful friends. Beautifully illustrated this is a lovely gem of a book. </p>
