About this title

Synopsis

“The umbrella was like a flower, a great blue flower that had sprung up on the dry brown hillside.”

In exchange for her lucky leopard’s claw pendant, Binya acquires a beautiful blue umbrella that becomes the envy of everyone in her village―especially Ram Bharosa, the shopkeeper.

Set in the picturesque hills of Garhwal, Ruskin Bond’s short and humorous novella perfectly captures village life, where innocence, jealousy, heroism, and redemption intertwine in the simplest yet most touching ways.
