I don't know what it is about Ruskin Bond's writing, but every time I read his stories, I'm immersed in a sense of serenity. His books make me feel like I'm at the peak of a snow-capped mountain or surrounded by soothing greenery. This collection was no different.

This book contains stories portraying daily life in small towns. It is a very light read with simple stories. Even though I've never visited any of the places mentioned, I was filled with nostalgia for a period I have not witnessed. ( )
