Author of these books Ruskin Bond is a writer who lives on the
hills. Mountain streams, birds and animals, trees and flowers, the whole
natural biosphere are his subjects of writing. His simple yet sensitive style
makes his books easy and pleasurable read for young and adults and can charm those
who rarely read too.
These books are collection of small tales on his experiences
in Dehra Dun, Garhwal, Mussorie, along the river Mandakini, at the holy place
of Tunganath, on the road to Badrinath etc. Even the ghosts find place in these
stories, scare a little but entertain and make reader form a different set of
viewpoints on the visits to these hills.
Few stories reappear across these books which readers
can skip and continue with the theme. You should buy these inexpensive books if
you are falling short of stories to tell your kids or before you plan a travel
to Himalayan terrains to deepen the experience one gets from traveling. If you
are a bookworm you would have read him already but in case you have not, your
personal library is incomplete without Bond, Ruskin Bond.
