Ruskin Bond’s writing brings the world to us in profound and remarkable ways. His signature style is simplicity itself, but the themes he tackles are big, deep and universal—love, loss, happiness, grief, and all the shades of emotion in between. These are stories of city and small town, mountain and lowland, and of life lived slowly and lightly. For over fifty years, these tales have charmed and beguiled several generations of readers. Last year, Ruskin Bond made a selection of his favourite stories (from the several hundred that he has written) that were published in a book entitled A Gathering of Friends. It proved to be enormously popular, selling out in a matter of weeks. Encouraged by its success, the author has made a further selection of his favourite stories and non-fiction sketches, leavening the mix with several pieces that have never been published before. It is a collection that will burnish his reputation as one of the world’s great storytellers. Praise for the Author: ‘Ruskin Bond has long been regarded as one of the pillars of Indian literature.’—Deccan Chronicle ‘His stories…have colours and characters that leave an imprint on you.’—Millennium Post ‘One of the best storytellers of contemporary India.’—The Tribune ‘One of India’s finest and most popular storytellers.’—The Man ‘A writer of timeless tales.’—The Statesman
