by Ruskin Bond (Author)
A vividly illustrated book, for children and adults alike, Ruskin Bond's Children's Omnibus is a collection of the author's best-loved stories. This volume includes the eternally popular Grandfather's Private Zoo, Angry River, The Blue Umbrella, The Road to the Bazaar, as well as the short stories 'Cricket for the Crocodile' and 'Dust on the Mountain'. Witty, charming and quietly evocative, these stories are Ruskin Bond classics.
