This man from the hills surely knows how to engross his audience without the usage of long tough words and compound sentences. simple yet stylish is what his writing is all about. You can visualize the scenes from his stories while reading and u dont have to close your eyes for that. His immense love for Dehra gets reflected in his novels and also worth mentioning is his novella 'A flight of pigeons'. Mr. Bond successfully recreates the time period.

Finished the first novel from this book The Room On The Roof overnight. It was literally unputdownable. Those who like classics and those who love to cherish the taste of literature should definitely try it.

this book is a must read, it has all the main novels written by ruskin bond. read it once and you will love this author and more over you will fall in love with the mountains and nature. no matter where you are while reading this book you will be instantly teleported to the hills. this book sure knows how to capture one's imagination.

Finished reading this book about a week ago and found it very engrossing to say the least. The beauty of Ruskin Bond lies in the manner in which he manages to captivate the readers and take them through the simple life of the hills. He pays attention to even the minute of details and succeeds in painting a portrait of the simple life that the hill folk lead, far, far away from the hustle and bustle of city life

It's really a great omnibus perfect cover and perfect price except for one novella that is THE SENSUALIST this novella is outrageous, dumb and downright crap with titillating tales of the protagonists adventures it is not apt to be present in this collection otherwise it would make an outstaninding omnibus if this novella is removed then this omnibus is a perfect present for a kid.

P.S - penguin you guys can publish the sensualist along with sussanna's seven husband as a part that wold be fi...

Precisely not a literary marvel...but good one for beginners! Narration of scenic beauty of Doon valley is just awesome..Room on the roof top and vagrants in the valley are the best part in the collection.

Ruskin Bond needs no introduction. The stories are wonderful and very, very Indian. Selling them in volume form helps avid readers like me collect them.

The book is great but the condition in which it reached me was disappointing

Book came in perfect condition.. haven't read yet. But book quality is worth.

Perfect product... and wonderful delivery by flipkart executive...😙😙😘😘❤❤
