Book review
Ruskin Bond dips into his archives and comes up with another exciting anthology. Danger ! Perilous journeys lie ahead…
The human spirit is indomitable. Nowhere is this better illustrated than in these authentic tales of incredible journeys, shipwreck, imprisonment and torture, treasure-hunting, escape from bandits or mutineers, adventures in the Indian jungles, or experiences of the supernatural.
About the author For over forty-five years Ruskin Bond has been writing stories, novellas, essays, poems and children’s books. He has written over 500 short stories and articles, many of which have been published by Penguin India. Ruskin Bond grew up in Jamnagar, Dehradun, New Delhi and Simla. As a young man, he spent four years in the Channel Islands and London. He returned to India in 1955, and has never left the country since. His first novel The Room on the Roof received the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize, awarded to a Commonwealth writer under thirty, for ‘a work of outstanding literary merit’. He received the Sahitya Akademi Award in 1993, and the Padma Shri in 1999. He lives in Landour, Mussoorie, with his extended family.
