🖋This book is a collection of stories by Ruskin Bond told by an old Kashmiri storyteller to a group of children at his bazaar.
Guess what's so gripping about this book?
Children in this story are all REAL ... Now they are in their 50's and 60's. Ruskin Bond had kept this script in his trunk for a long time because the publishers were not interested in the protagonist, our Kashmiri Storyteller and his listeners.
🔖The stories in the book are truly astonishing. A few stories are The Hill of the Forty Brothers, In the Land of the Peris and Prince Shamseer Jung. The stories all have something different in each one of them. For example one of the stories explains the horrids of caste and religion while another says about a ghost who made a perfect man, a bent-up-double beggar.
🧒I would recommend this book for ages 7 and above.
And I wish.. One day I could listen to a Kashmiri Storyteller in Reality. Do you know that Ruskin Bond is now 85 years old? He still visits Cambridge Book Depot in Mussoorie....Hope to meet him one day.💙
