<b>I believe that the journey is more important than the destination. But then I have never really had a destination. The glory that comes from conquering the Himalayan peaks is not for me. My greatest pleasure lies in taking a path--any old path will do--and following it until it leads me to a forest glade or village or stream or windy hilltop.</b> <p/> Is there a feeling better than being on the road with the wind whipping through your hair? <p/> It is perhaps only matched by the anticipation of roaming around a town you have never visited before--meeting interesting people and wandering around unexplored neighborhoods. <i>In Old Roads New Roads</i> <b> Ruskin Bond </b>brings together some of his best travel writing chronicling tales of his many journeys to and from the hills across towns big and small meeting wise and amusing people. <p/> This book promises to remind you of the joys of stepping out into the great outdoors exploring old roads and new ones.
