My Time in the Town

<b>‘I preferred the solitude of the small district town to the kind of social life I might have found in the cities; and in my books my writing and the surrounding hills there was enough for my pleasure and occupation.’</b><br><br> There is something incredibly charming and wonderful about Ruskin Bond’s portrayal of small-town life. It is a portal into a world of eccentric odd but above all else kind-hearted and warm people who live alongside the natural and historical beauty found in these towns.<br> In <i>My Time in the Town</i> Bond brings together a collection of his best writing on small-town India in all its nuanced yet simple and unhurried glory. With these stories Bond shows us the irresistible warmth and appeal of small-town life while also exposing the often dark superstitious ghostly or even just politically corrupt aspects of it. This book promises to be a journey into the soulful and laid-back simplicity of small towns!
