‘Walking home at midnight in Landour can be quite eventful… I have smelled a leopard without seeing it. I have seen jackals on the prowl. I have watched foxes dance in the moonlight. I have seen flying squirrels flit from one treetop to another. I have listened to the calls of nightjars, owls and other birds who live by night.’The smell of pines, the sound of birds, the singing of hill people, the sound of a river flowing through a valley—these are some of the pleasant things that greet you once you are in the mountains. For decades, Ruskin Bond has lived in the Himalayas and this book is a delightful collection of his reminiscences and anecdotes about his life there. Filled with vibrant and beautiful descriptions of places, this one is for every mountain and nature lover.
