The Jungle Omnibus is a collection of short stories set in the forests of India by Ruskin Bond. Summary of the Book This volume collects animal stories from Ruskin Bond’s complete career. It presents unforgettable stories such as that of the leopard who develops an unlikely bond with a human and the tiger cub a grandfather brings home to tame.
