A beautifully illustrated and designed storybook from the master storyteller Ruskin Bond. The story does not hold too many surprises or too many ghostly encounters, but there is tremendous atmosphere. As the author describes the cottage, the surrounding jungle and the greedy crow, we visualize it all and get pulled into the world where something is waiting to happen. And something is not quite dead because life was cruel…
Hop on: My Adventures on Boats, Trains and Planes
The book is a narration of a boy’s first journey on a boat, train and plane. Written as short pieces, each one is endearing and honest. It tells the reader in a comforting way that it is all right to be scared, worried, sick and uncomfortable while living through new experiences. The freshness of images invites the reader right in.
Aimed at readers young and old, the book opens up a part of Ruskin Bond’s world of writing. Bond talks about the various aspects of his writing and the process that leads to the final written piece. By the by, Bond invites readers to ponder on everything about life.
