‘In the spring, when the banyan tree was full of small red figs, birds of all kinds would flock into its branches, the red-bottomed bulbul, cheerful and greedy, gossiping rosy pastors, and parrots and crows, squabbling with each other all the time.’
How does the world change shape with the change of seasons? What does ‘A Rainy Day in June’ look like? What secrets lay hidden ‘In Grandfather’s Garden’ in the bloom of spring? Can ‘The Blue Umbrella’, so tiny and delicate, withstand the force of a mountain shower?
For All Seasons brings the world alive through Ruskin Bond’s searching eyes, at once restless and contemplative. Pay attention and you will hear ‘When the Cicadas Chorus’, be privy to the private dramas of garden animals, and feel the foot-tapping rhythm of ‘A Calypso Christmas’ taking place a lifetime ago…
