Description:
Step into the wonderfully whimsical world of one of India's most beloved storytellers in this charming anthology of humour from the legendary Ruskin Bond. Brimming with warmth, gentle wit, and quiet observation, the collection brings together a delightful cast of characters Bond has spent a lifetime writing about — his accident-prone Uncle Ken, his eccentric grandfather with a menagerie of wild pets, the flirtatious Miss Bun, the unforgettable people of Mussoorie's bazaars, and Bond himself in all his self-deprecating glory. Alongside beloved classics, the book also features previously unpublished gems like "Respect Your Breakfast" and "Uncle Ken Goes to Sea". Through tales of mischievous tigers, would-be ghosts, comical elephants, and the small absurdities of everyday hill-station life, Bond reminds readers that real humour lives in the gentle, ordinary moments — and never fails to leave you smiling.
