Description

The India Ruskin Bond loves does not always make headlines. But he finds it wherever he goes in fields or forests, towns or villages, mountains or deserts and in the hearts and minds of the people who have given him love and affection for the better part of a lifetime. Bond is in his element when writing about all that he cares deeply for his adopted family, his friends, his writing, the simple humour of everyday life, The mountains, roads, rivers and small towns which manifests his immense love for nature and people. In this heartfelt collection of poems and essays, Ruskin Bond looks back on his unique relationship with this country and its people from the time he came back, still only a boy, to take up the challenge of being a writer in a swiftly changing India.
