ABSTRACT

 Preservation of nature has always been a prime concern since early times. It is an uphill struggle for the present as well as future generations to conserve it. Writers have realized that writing about nature can surely revise our ethical relations with natural world. The Blue Umbrella is a short novella by a great writer Ruskin Bond. It depicts life of a small girl, Binya living in close association with the hills of Garhwal. The nature has made her immune to every threats and difficulties and has inculcated in her a sense of confidence and love for nature. The paper presents Bond’s desire to make human beings realize the importance of nature by inculcating in them the ecological modesty and humility.
