The Very Best Of Ruskin Bond's Travel Writing
‘I have discovered their secret. Now I know why they look so cool, so refreshed, while we who walk the streets of Old Delhi do so with parched mouths and drooping limbs.

Even reading or listening to these stories can make one vicariously experience the charm of these moments, but in the hands of master storytellers, they take on a life, a magic of their own. The Very Best of Ruskin Bond’s Travel Writing brings together the finest of the writer on the hill’s contributions to the genre.

Echoes of Eerie Encounters
‘Something rose out of the bottom of the pool. It looked like a giant snail, but its head was part human, its body and limbs part squid or octopus. An enormous succubus. It stood taller than the man in the pool. A creature soft and slimy, a survivor from our primaeval past.’ Take a plunge into Echoes of Eerie Encounters, a collection of Ruskin Bond’s most haunting stories; some bone-chilling and others rib-tickling. Is it ghosts you seek? There are phantom encounters waiting to happen—in abandoned houses, lonesome hill roads, forgotten bars and even the shadows of crowds. Or do you crave the company of murderers and scoundrels? They are here too, holding court with poisons and knives, biding their time.
