Looking for the Rainbow - My Years with Daddy  (English, Book, Bond Ruskin)

Winner of the Crossword Book Award for Children's Writing First ever great autobiography series for children, an absolutely essential read for young Ruskin Bond fans An illustrated book for young readers (ages 9 and up) to help build comprehension and imagination At age eight, Ruskin escapes his jail-like boarding school in the hills and goes to live with his father in Delhi. His time in the capital is filled with books, visits to the cinema, music and walks and conversations with his father-a dream life for a curious and wildly imaginative boy, which turns tragic all too soon. For years, Ruskin Bond has regaled and mesmerized readers with his tales. In Looking for the Rainbow, Bond travels to his own past, recalling his favourite adventures (and misadventures) with extraordinary charm, splotches of wit, a pinch of poignance and not a trace of bitterness. What you're holding, dear reader, is a classic in the making.
