About the Book:
The Lamp is Lit is a collection of autobiographical sketches and stories from one of India’s most beloved authors, Ruskin Bond. With over six decades of writing experience, Bond has continuously championed the beauty of simplicity and the quietude of life through his numerous short stories, essays, poems, and novels.
In this heartfelt collection, Bond offers readers a celebration of his survival as a freelance writer. He takes us back to his early days, describing his forays into the literary magazines of the 1950s and 1960s, and offers some examples of his work from that time.
Bond's trademark humor and compassion shine through as he recounts the eccentricities of friends and acquaintances (such as a former princess obsessed with death and disaster), miracles of nature ("New moon in a purple sky"), and life’s little joys, like the smell of onions frying. He also reflects on the fleeting regrets and nostalgia of his experiences.
A perfect blend of wisdom, charm, and warmth, The Lamp is Lit offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of our very own Wordsworth in prose.
