The Great Train Journey
The first time I saw a train, I was standing on a wooded slope outside a tunnel, not far from Kalka. Suddenly, with a shrill whistle and great burst of steam, a green and black engine came snorting out of the blackness.. “A dragon!” I shouted. “There’s a dragon coming out of its cave!”’The charm of travelling by a train as it speeds its way out of a tunnel or a jungle and passes through nondescript villages and towns is unmatched. There also exists a joyful curiosity in unfolding the mysterious lives and destinations of its passengers.Ruskin Bond has been writing tales about the hinterland for decades, but this is the first time his stories revolving around trains and railway stations of small-town India have been brought together in a single collection. Classics such as ‘The Eyes Have It’ and ‘The Night Train at Deoli’ rub shoulders with tales of big cats taking refuge in railway tunnels and strangers who strike up a friendship while waiting at a platform.So, hop on and allow one of India’s greatest storytellers to steer you through the Great Train Journey.

My Trees In The Himalayas

A little boy’s grief on realizing that he will never be able to speak his mother tongue again after his country is invaded by another.

Henry, Saki, Oscar Wilde, Anton Chekov, Alphonse Daudet and others.Full of moments that range from joyous to heart-breaking, My Trees in the Himalayas will leave you mesmerized with its tales of the simple joys of life.

Grannys Tales
‘Granny was a genius. You’d like to know why? Because she could climb trees. Spreading or high She’d be up their branches in a trice. And mind you When last she climbed a tree, she was sixty-two.’ You ask anybody who their favourite member of the family is, and their answer will be one of their grandparents. A grandparent’s capacity for love, the abundance of affection that they hold and share with abandon, make them the purest and the best people to be with. What is more, they entertain you with stories of a time past and sometimes, if we are lucky, they partake in crazy activities with us as witnesses. In Granny’s Tales, Ruskin Bond takes us through such stories of affection and tenderness, of grandpas being hilarious—fighting ostriches, building zoos in his backyard and tickling tigers. And the wonder that grandmas are—telling bedtime stories with flourish, witnessing us climbing trees for afternoon hilarity and teaching lessons that will help us in all. This book is the perfect dose of grandparent stories, for children and adults alike!
