Answer:
Ruskin Bond is famous as a Nature writer. Almost all his stories have the hilly terrain of India with its lush green forests as the back drop.
The novella Romi and the Wildfire is an extraordinary account of a young boy of eleven years -Romi, raging through a forest fire.
Romi had gone to the adjacent village to collect some medicines for his ailing father in his new bicycle. While returning home he confronts the devastating forest fire.
Being a loyal and responsible boy he risks his life to be able to reach home and deliver the medicines to his father.
On the way he experiences the sorry plight of hundreds of wild animals who have been rendered homeless by the fire.
The panic stricken animals are running helter skelter in search of refuge.
Romi come across the little milk boy Teju who too is caught in the fire. Together they race past the fire in Romi's cycle only to face another disaster- the burning wooden bridge the only link with the village.
Helpless they plunge into the river with the cycle and swim to safety.
Thus ends their adventure.
