This first-time collection of poems by India’s most-loved ‘author of the Hills’ is quintessential Ruskin Bond: lucid, effortless and beautifully written. The collection brings together some heartwarming poems about nature and wildlife, imaginative, almost cinematic forays into the poet’s dreams (and nightmares) and some humorous interludes about his driving skills–or lack thereof! These and many other poems make for an absorbing and deeply satisfying read, for poetry and Ruskin Bond buffs of all ages. The poems are accompanied by vivid and intelligent pen and ink sketches.
