“The Night Train at Deoli and Other Stories (Paperback)  | Released: 25 May 1989

Predominantly set in the valleys of Uttarakhand, the stories in this book are warm, intimate portraits of life in the Himalayan foothills. Apart from gently satirical studies about village and small-town braggarts and petty officials, this collection also has several stunning tales that mourn the gradual erosion of the beauty of the hills with the coming of the steel, dust and worries of modern civilization. Animated by Ruskin Bond’s rare humanity and compassion, this book is a thoroughly rewarding read. You can find this book at the best online bookstore in India, offering a wide selection of literary works.
