The Blue Umbrella is a very short novel by Ruskin Bond. Though the direct audience of this novel are children but grown-ups and old ones too like this novel because of the writing style and the message it conveys.
I personally felt that the main theme of the story is to keep others happy by doling out the things that you love most. It is tough to renounce the things that we love. In this novel, the lead character is Binya – a small girl from hills. She is of tender age but when she stumbles upon some picnickers from the plains and when they demand she gives up her tiger-claw to them in the exchange of the blue umbrella.
Later when the blue umbrella becomes a thing of envy for ordinary and unpretentious villagers, the greedy Ram Bharosa (the shopkeeper) takes possession of her umbrella by unethical ways. This act slanders his image and as a result people stop coming to or entertaining him – this further cause loss in his business. Unable to stand the agony of his loss, Binya officially gives her umbrella to him to save him from the loss he is suffering. In return, overwhelmed by her kindness, he gifts her bear-claw which is considered even luckier than the tiger’s.
