This book, a collection of short and sweet stories, is set in Ruskin Bond's beloved Dehradun. The stories are about the mischievous children who grew up in the hill side town of North India, especially Suraj, Ranji and Koki.
Summary of the Book
Suraj, Ranji and Koki would always team up with their friends and were responsible for their funny and naughty exploits. In his own ways, Ruskin Bond has written about the lives of people in the town and the events that have helped shaped their lives. There is the story of Mukesh who visits the zoo in Delhi and decides that he is going to start one of his own. Koki has a beetle race with Bhim and Ranji. The winner of the race is a surprise. Suraj goes on an interesting train journey that ends with him finding a new friend on the goods train. This collection of stories will show the reader why Ruskin Bond will always be one of India’s most loved authors.
