Description

The best of a lifetime of stories from a short story writer of rare distinction.

Ruskin Bond???s stories are predominantly set in the beautiful hill country of Garhwal where he has made his home for the last twenty-five years. Some of these stories present people who, consciously or otherwise, need each other: people in love or in need of love, the awkward adolescent and the timid lover. Some are gently satirical studies about village and small-town braggarts and petty officials.

Several others mourn the gradual erosion of the beauty of the hills (and the gentle people who live in them) with the coming of the steel and dust and worries of modern civilization. All the stories are rewarding for their compassionate portrayal of love, loss, accomplishment,

For those who love the simple things in life!

This was the first Ruskin Bond book that I bought and after that I've started collecting his books. This book has short simple stories...specially, stories of longing...stories which melt your heart. The book will be liked by those who love the simple things in life, those who love nature. I'm now a fan of Ruskin Bond!

A book that makes you nostalgic and happy

There is something about Ruskin Bond that takes you back in time.He brings back memories of your childhood, the first girl you loved and interesting characters you met.
His stories will fascinate anyone who loves the hill stations with their clean air and gentle populace.

A colourful box of sweets

A classic Bond lover will love it no matter what. Beautiful, short tales from hills. One is transported to the evergreen world of Bond. Every story is similar at times but has its on flavour. Has few sweet love stories, stories of life, stories of death, stories unheard lives. Ruskin Bond is the eternal bachelor and champion of solitude.
