My review can be seen here.

[Abhishek Singh · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is about people from a small town of Pipalnagar. This book is about the dreams of small-town people. The characters are very relatable. Ruskin Bond sketches a moving portrait of small-town India with characteristic sympathy and quiet wisdom. If you are soul searching than this book is for you.

This book has been one of my favourite travel companion for years. A compilation of some of Ruskin Bond's wonderful tales.
His stories are like a warm blanket on a slightly chilly evening! He creates the most cozy atmospheres from spooky ones to beautiful emotional ones. One of my very favourite author's best stories all in one place.
