And here is one of my best possessions of November or this year authored by one of my favourite authors "RUSKIN BOND @ruskinbond " who is immensely popular in India for his beautifully crafted poignant stories that are a perfect blend of innocent childhood , first love that has that sweetness and silent nostalgic old age.
Each of them describe intricate human emotions very elegantly and surprisingly each of the stories are so unique and different from each other.
This book is a thing of beauty and has the newest collection of Mr.Bond's short story works.
21 different stories decorate this book with the beautiful hardcover that oozes the vibes of small villages covered with year's first soothing snowfall bringing nostalgic feelings.
As always Ruskin Bond's stories revolve around beautiful hilly regions describing the best of nature's gift to us . I have read "The Night train at Deoli "earlier in another book but all the other stories in this one are new to me . Some I have devoured with pleasure within couple of days and keeping few stories to be cherished later slowly.
I donot hurry with his works as you need to take into the beautiful feel that each paragraph imparts .
They impart an aura in which the essence of each story surrounds you long after you have finished reading them.
Price - 399/- Pages - 190
