'I have discovered their secret. Now I know why they look so cool, so refreshed, while we who walk
the streets of Old Delhi do so with parched mouths and drooping limbs. The pigeons are the only
ones who still know about the Red Well.'
From retellings of comical mishaps to attempts to put words to moments of profound appreciation
for the world, travel always leaves one with stories to share. Even reading or listening to these
stories can make one vicariously experience the charm of these moments, but in the hands of master
storytellers, they take on a life, a magic of their own.
The Very Best of Ruskin Bond's Travel Writing brings together the finest of the writer on the hill's contributions to the genre. Let his scintillating prose take you down city alleys, mountain roads,
railway tracks and roaring seas, so you can experience the wonder of the world through his eyes.
