It would be presumptuous to say so. Nature doesn t promise you anything an afterlife, rewards for good behaviour, protection from enemies, wealth, happiness...No...Nature is a reward in itself. For over half a century, Ruskin Bond has celebrated the wonder and beauty of nature as few other contemporary writers have, or indeed can. This collection brings together the best of his writing on the natural world, not just in the Himalayan foothills that he has made his home, but also in the cities and small towns that he lived in or travelled through as a young man. In these pages, he writes of leopards padding down the lanes of Mussoorie after dark, the first shower of the monsoon in Meerut that brings with it a tumult of new life, the chorus of insects at twilight outside his window, ancient banyan trees and the short-lived cosmos flower, a new moon in a deep purple sky, a bat who strays into his room and makes a night less lonely... A collector's edition, this volume proves again that for the serenity and lyricism of his prose and his sharp yet sympathetic eye, Ruskin Bond has few equals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/ruskin-bond-books\"\u003eRuskin Bond\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 289\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Penguin Books India, Viking\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780670057764\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books India, Viking","offers":[{"title":"Very Good — £209.34","offer_id":47912501313713,"sku":"SB-0670057762-C2","price":209.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0670057762.jpg?v=1789301585"},{"product_id":"the-whistling-schoolboy-and-other-stories-of-school-life","title":"The Whistling Schoolboy and Other Stories of School Life","description":"\u003cp\u003eReading books is a kind of enjoyment.

He begins with a dream and a gentle haunting, before taking us to an idyllic childhood in Jamnagar by the Arabian Sea where he composed his first poem and New Delhi in the early 1940s where he found material for his first short story. With effortless intimacy and candour, Bond recalls his boarding school days in Shimla and winter holidays in Dehradun, when he tried to come to terms with a sense of abandonment, made friends, discovered great books and found his true calling. Determined to be a writer, he spent four difficult years in England, from 1951 to 1955, and he writes poignantly of his loneliness there, even as he kept his promise to himself and produced a book the classic novel of adolescence, The Room on the Roof. It was born of his longing for the atmosphere that was India, the home he would return to even before the novel was published. Full of anecdote, warmth and gentle wit; often deeply moving and always with a magnificent sense of time and place, Lone Fox Dancing is a book of understated, enduring magic, like Ruskin Bond himself.\"--\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/ruskin-bond-books\"\u003eRuskin Bond\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 277\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speaking Tiger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9789386338907\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Speaking Tiger","offers":[{"title":"Very Good — £6.09","offer_id":47920073113777,"sku":"SB-9386338904-C2","price":6.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/9386338904.jpg?v=1789239223"},{"product_id":"a-time-for-all-things-collected-essays-and-sketches","title":"A Time For All Things Collected Essays and Sketches","description":"\u003cp\u003eBRAND NEW, Exactly same ISBN as listed, Please double check ISBN carefully before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/ruskin-bond-books\"\u003eRuskin Bond\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 389\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speaking Tiger Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9789387164741\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Speaking Tiger Books","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £6.50","offer_id":47920073506993,"sku":"SB-9387164748-C3","price":6.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/9387164748.jpg?v=1789701407"},{"product_id":"earthquake-racers-s","title":"Earthquake (Racers S.)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"What do you do when there's an earthquake?\" asked Rakesh.
