ABOUT THE BOOK

As India completes 75 years of independence, we bring to you a slice
of our beloved country in the words of our favourite author, Ruskin
Bond. Drawing on his own memories and impressions of this unique
land, he pays homage to the country that has been his home for 84
years. Bond talks fondly about the diverse elements that make up this
beautiful land-its rivers and forests, literature and culture, sights, sounds
and colours. A Little Book of India is an amalgamation of the physical and
spiritual attributes of our homeland, and takes you on a journey filled
with nostalgia and devotion.
