✦ Synopsis

'I think everyone has at least one eccentric aunt or uncle in the family. I had more than one. My boyhood days were enlivened by their presence.'India's best-loved children's writer Ruskin Bond introduces us to some of the most endearing and adorable characters he has ever written aboutβ€”his grandfather, with his unusual ability to disguise himself as just about anyone; the eccentric Uncle Ken, with his knack for trouble; the stationmaster Mr. Ghosh and his amazing family; and the unforgettable Aunt Ruby and her hilarious encounter with a parrot!Heart-warming, funny and delightful, The Parrot Who Wouldn't Talk and Other Stories features some old favourites as well as refreshingly new stories. Marked by Bond's inimitable style and trademark humour, and embellished with lively illustrations, this book will be a firm favourite with children.
