Rupa Publications India The Blue Umbrella

Not worth for the price

I am reading fiction after almost ten years (I am a 27 years old female). All this while I was reading self-help books that contain more or less the same content so I got bored of them and during the pandemic I stopped reading books altogether. I tried reading some books on the phone but would easily get distracted and discontinue the book. I was getting desparate to get back into my reading habit so without giving it much thought I orderd this book. When I received it, I was shocked to see how thin it was. I could finish it within an hour or two, I thought. But I ended up reading just one chapter a day over the course of a week whilst thoroughly enjoying the art illustrations and absorbing all the information at a slow pace. I feel, it has somewhat healed my inner child. The story is very simple with a moral that I'm sure kids would benefit greatly from. As an adult, I could foresee how it would end yet had a child-like excitement to read the next chapter. I guess I was missing this kind of genuine excitement for reading books, so I'm grateful for this book to help me get out of the reader's slump. Ever since I finished this book, I have gotten more such books that are primarily meant for childre as I'm enjoying their simplistic narration and subtle lessons.

Even though the book is for children but I being a 31years old woman enjoyed this read. You can finish it in a one day

The Blue Umbrella by Ruskin Bond is a beautiful book that I’m really excited to read. The book arrived in excellent condition, with neat packaging and no damage. I’m very happy with my purchase and the overall quality of the book. A lovely addition to my book collection. Highly recommended! 💙

Good story. Like the writers style and story message.

Great Auther, great story, interesting one
