UPON AN OLD WALL DREAMING

Ruskin Bond?s writing brings
the world to us in profound and remarkable ways. His signature style is
simplicity itself, but the themes he tackles are big, deep and
universal?love, loss, happiness, grief, and all the shades of emotion in
between. These are stories of city and small town, mountain and lowland, and
of life lived slowly and lightly. For over fifty years, these tales have
charmed and beguiled several generations of readers. Last year, Ruskin Bond
made a selection of his favourite stories (from the several hundred that he
has written) that were published in a book entitled A Gathering of Friends.
It proved to be enormously popular, selling out in a matter of weeks.
Encouraged by its success, the author has made a further selection of his favourite
stories and non-fiction sketches, leavening the mix with several pieces that
have never been published before. It is a collection that will burnish his
reputation as one of the world?s great storytellers. Praise for the Author:
