A Hill Station’s Vintage Murders and Other Stories
If ever there was a born murderer, he must surely have been William Jones. The thing came so naturally to him. No extreme violence, no messy shootings or hacking or throttling. Just the right amount of poison, administered with skill and discretion.’ What is it about stories of crime that appeals to the human mind? Is it the thrill of solving the mystery before the solution is spelt out, or a morbid fascination with the peculiar circumstances that could push a person into committing the ultimate sin? With its ruminations on human nature and atmospheric prose, A Hill Station’s Vintage Murders and other Stories brings together some of Ruskin Bond’s best crime writing that delves into these questions. Immerse yourself in his vivid descriptions of crime scenes set in a locale most familiar to him—the hills—and explore with him what happens when people get pushed over the edge.

Monkey Trouble and Other Stories
‘He gave a full-throated roar and moved purposefully through the tall grass. And the roar came back to him, calling him, calling him forward: a roar that meant there would be more tigers in the land!’ In the vast tapestry of the world, where earth and sky converge, a delicate thread binds humans and the wild. Beneath rustling trees, within deep forests, and across endless plains, a story of coexistence unfolds—often unnoticed, yet profound. Monkey Trouble and Other Stories is a collection of Ruskin Bond’s writings that invite the reader to reflect on the responsibility and wonder of being part of this fragile yet resilient planet, where the secrets to life’s greatest mysteries are found in the smallest moments of connection. From the humorous to the terrifying, experience all that can happen when man meets the wild, through the sensitive and vivid prose of the master storyteller.

Old Times’ Sake
‘All this is pure nostalgia, of course, but why be ashamed of it? Nostalgia is simply an attempt to try and preserve that which was good in the past… The past has served us: why not serve the past in this way?’ There is something about the past that makes us hold on to it as if it were tangible—the innocence of childhood, the joys of a simpler life—or perhaps it’s just the rose-tinted lenses through which we view our memories that make us feel this way. Undeniably, though, there is a magic to a time long gone that one is powerless to resist. Old Times’ Sake is a collection of Ruskin Bond’s writings for the nostalgia nuts, bringing to life the old-world charm of the times we reminisce about with our loved ones. Take a trip down memory lane with stories about love, loss and friendship, told in Ruskin Bond’s inimitable style.

The Days I Loved You
Was it all a dream? ‘It was impossible to say. But the topaz on my hand glowed softly in the darkness. And a whisper from the forest seemed to say, “It isn’t time that’s passing by, my friend. It is you and I…”’ Our memories of the people we loved, rose-coloured and untainted, always have a special place in some corner of our heart. Every time we think back to the moments we lived with them, we still feel phantom echoes of the feelings we felt then—the intensity of those emotions may have reduced, but never their value. The Days I Loved You is a collection of stories that recount such memories with startling sensory clarity. Let the evocative and sweet prose of the writer on the hill help you rediscover the joys and sorrows of your own lost loves.

Great Trees of India
Why do you spend so much time in the trees?’ complained my grandmother. ‘Why not do something useful for a change?’ ‘The trees are my brothers,’ I would say. ‘I like to play with them.’ From the banyans of the plains to the deodars of the hills and the mangroves of the coasts, the trees of India are the soul of our land and its people. Our memories and myths, our songs and superstitions—our land’s trees are an inextricable part of all of them. Great Trees of India contains a selection of stories that are Ruskin Bond’s love letters to the trees that give this country its unique character. Let the master storyteller’s sensitive and warm prose transport you to afternoons spent under cool shade, with birdsong in the air as dust moats float in dappled sunlight—one of the timeless pleasures of life!
