The steam engine shot out of the tunnel, snorting and puffing like a green, black and gold dragon - a beautiful monster out of Ranji's dreams. Fascinated by the midday train, Ranji would find himself waiting by the tunnel to catch a glimpse of the engine come roaring out of it. But the tunnel has more surprises for him. From a jungle full of lush green trees comes a timeless tale of unexpected friendship, curiosity, duty and wildlife. Peppered with delightful illustrations, Ruskin Bond brings to his readers another heart warming story packaged as a charming chapter book - a perfect introduction for beginners to the world of India's favourite writer.
