"The Night Train at Deoli and Other Stories (English, Paperback, Bond Ruskin)
The best of a lifetime of stories from a short story writer of rare distinction.

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,
