Answer:

Ruskin Bond actually learnt of his grandfather only through stories told to him by his mother and grandmother, as he was a mere infant when his maternal grandfather passed away, and he did not ever meet his paternal grandfather, who had died before he was born. However, this did not prevent him from creating a beautiful fictional relationship between a young boy and his grandfather, which is reflected in many stories.

Bond’s enduring relationship with the hilly regions of the Himalayas where he has spent his life is described in stories like The Tree Lover and The Cherry Tree. In The Cherry Tree, the protagonist is Rakesh, a six-year-old boy who has been sent to live with his grandfather, a retired forest ranger living just outside the town of Mussoorie. Rakesh’s parents are farmers in a village where there are no schools, and this is why he has come to stay with his grandfather.

Rakesh roams the slopes around Mussoorie with his grandfather, planting seeds and saplings, giving back to nature some of what is lost in deforestation and development. The story progresses with the germination of the cherry seed till it is a plant that Rakesh watches with the typical impatience of a child. After a while, he stops watching it every day but cannot resist a peep now and then to see how it is doing. The values of caring for the environment, of giving back to nature and protecting mountains and trees are brought home in more didactic fashion in The Tree Lover. Here, Grandfather explains to the boy, Rusty, why they must plant saplings on the hillsides to give the animals and birds food and shelter and replenish the forest.
