Dedicated to Ruskin Bond, who has resisted growing up for many years, the stories in this collection are a tribute from a spectrum of creative writers to the grand young man of Indian fiction. Conceived in the course of a writer's retreat in Landour, deep in the wooded hills of Garhwal, in North India, this scintillating collection of short stories on themes of childhood, adolescence and remembrance, reach out to the under grown or overgrown child within us all.
