About the Book
This beautiful collection of essays, stories and poems by Ruskin Bond explores ordinary life with that vibrant wit and humour that characterise this author of eminence. Capturing the lighter moments of life, this best loved children’s author talks about monkeys that infest his potty or the best tea he's ever had - made by an ex-convict, whose job it was to make tea for the jail warden, an aunt with a phobia of flowers, an eccentric cousin who thinks he is the great cricketer Ranji, the wise seven-year-old Gautam and a lot more to tickle your funny bone. Formally released at the 17th World Book Fair at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi, this Rupa publication, according to Bond, "is a humorous book and an autobiographical one at that."
