About the Book

Ruskin Bond, one of India's most cherished storytellers, takes readers on a nostalgic journey through his semi-autobiographical tales in this collection. "Fourteen engaging stories" offers a delightful glimpse into Bond’s life, beginning from his childhood and continuing through to the present day. Each story serves as a carefully crafted snapshot, introducing us to the author's family, friends, and those who left an indelible mark on his life. In some stories, readers are transported back to the scenic Garhwal hills, where Bond's connection with the land and its people has inspired many of his works.

Included in this collection is his renowned novella A Flight of Pigeons, which was adapted into the popular film Junoon. Through these stories, Bond's vivid portrayal of India’s diverse landscapes, both physical and emotional, brings to life the essence of a place and its people. With each page, readers can feel the warmth of the hills, the charm of small towns, and the tenderness of a family’s bonds. This collection is a tribute to the moments that shape a life, making it a must-read for those who appreciate the beauty of storytelling.
