| Abstract: | This paper examines the thematic triad of innocence, imagination, and play in the short fiction of Ruskin Bond. Far from being mere decorative elements, these qualities structure the lives of Bond’s child characters, allowing them to negotiate loneliness, loss, and displacement. Through close readings of The Playing Fields of Shimla, The Adventures of Rusty, The Cherry Tree, The Blue Umbrella, The Night Train at Deoli, and The Woman on Platform No. 8, the study explores how innocence functions as moral clarity, imagination as a survival tool, and play as a form of resistance and community building. The analysis situates Bond’s work within broader Indian English literature and draws on critical perspectives to show that Bond preserves the wonder of childhood without romanticizing it. His children emerge as resilient figures who counter adult corruption through empathy, creativity, and joy. |
