‘The eeriness of the place was increased by the neighbouring hills, which overhung the main line threateningly. […] Baldeo could not help thinking about the wild animals he might encounter. He had heard many tales of the famous tunnel tiger, a man-eater who was supposed to frequent this spot.’ Danger lurks in the shadows. Tigers prowl. Forests whisper threats. But who stands tallest when terror strikes? Children! In Courage of Children, Ruskin Bond plunges readers into heart-pounding adventures where young heroes battle monsters both real and imagined. Follow them through mountain passes, abandoned tunnels and mist-shrouded villages as they discover their own fierce bravery. These aren't just adventures; they're emotional rollercoasters where courage blooms alongside friendship, homesickness and the bittersweet pangs of growing up. Bond's storytelling reminds us that being brave often means being scared and silly at the same time.
