Description
Ruskin bond comes up with another exciting Rupa selection. This Book of Himalayan Tales is Ruskin Bond’s own collection of short stories, essays and poems. The theme for the collection is of course the hills.
Whether it is nature, people, places or even animals, Ruskin Bond is keenly observant of all forms of life and activity in the hills. Delightful reading, especially with the Haikus and poems that are interspersed with the stories. An entertaining blend of fiction and non-fiction.
