The Writer on the Hill: The Very Best Of Ruskin Bond

Classic story telling . A great read for children and adults . Ruskin Bond uses simple English but the descriptive narrative transports you to his world of rural, rustic India. You end up smelling the smells, tasting the food, exulting in the hilly pastures and damp air. A welcome breath of fresh air in an overstimulated world of trite and pretentious story telling. Absolutely 5-star

I grew up in Mussoorie India where Ruskin Bond lives. He is a living legend there, deeply appreciated and respected.

Great book! Reminds you of your various childhood memories and the times gone by...

Its reminds me about the simple and non complicated days of our life.Easy reading

Great book. Well worth the read

All stories have a wonderful setting in the beautiful Himalayan region. His description make you feel that you are already there. A feast for small time stories in a rural settings where life goes on at a leisurely pace.thanks amazon once again.

Only Mr Ruskin Bond has the magic to take you to the magnificent mountains, to let you hear the river flow, to feel the birds, insects and wildlife without actually being there. Mr Bond you have given people like us a new dimension to see life. Thank you for being a writer.
