Ruskin Bond has been labeled as a unique writer who deals with nature its aspects and humans. His stories are pieces of an artist who wrote for adults but his characters are small yet they teach lessons to readers. Nature is depicted as a thing which is continuously degraded and hurt by people. Man has lost touch with nature and feelings of care and love have been removed from his bosom. Many people have written about nature but Bond had composed his short stories in support of nature. Whether males or females children play prominent roles in his short fiction while remaining in the lap of nature and thus teach us the essence and love of nature. His writings give a clear and lucid picture of Himalyan region of shimla. He tries to develop feeling if security for nature in his readers. His writings surround nature and he treats it as a home for whole creation. Critics have studied his art as eco-critical and found environmental concerns in it.

Nature, environment, art, degraded and hurt etc.
