Customer Reviews

a very beautiful book

touching and beautiful.

Subtle and touching!

I found this book by chance in Karacht years ago and I was really deeply moved by the wonderful stories written by Mr Bond. Most of my students also find the stories charming and touching. If I had to keep only one book for the rest of my life, this of course is the ONE.

A piece de resistance

This book is one in a million and is a ray of light in our material world.Kudos Mr.Bond!

The beautiful Garhwals are timeless yet human.......

...through the eyes of master writer Ruskin Bond. The gentle pace of life in the hills is a characteristic of its peoples - gentle, compassionate yet like all others in their human differences. Simple yet deep sketches of these people are the hallmark of each of these short stories ...depicting pain, poignant moments, desire, avarice, love, compassion, innocence...some of the characters are so genuinely simple to draw at the hearrtstrings of our emotions - just for their plain humanness.A book worth reading...and re-reading when you get overdosed with the fast paced commercialism of today. Retreat to a quiet spot with this and randomly pick up any story ... you will emerge refreshed !!
