I read it to teach it. But that didn't stop me from smiling at its simple happy ending. It is a beautiful, heartwarming story.
It's a children's book but is definitely worth a read. I always love to read Ruskin bond because of his style of making things very simple and interesting. Reader can easily read the book and can connect with the story.
Actually story of this book is a The book is about a young village girl, who is total love with her magnificent, beautiful, and ye-pleasing blue colored umbrella, and soon becomes the topic of discussion for the entire village. An old man, who cons children from their belongings gets fascinated with the blue umbrella, and is extremely jealous, from the fact that the young girl is getting all the attention, just because of that umbrella. Sometimes, in life, how do small things effect us emotionally, and how things changes when those small little things are no longer a part of us, could be summarized as theme of the brilliant novella from the legendary writer.
