Small Towns, Big Stories
by Ruskin Bond
Description:
Small Towns, Big Stories showcases twenty-one stories of small-town life by the countrys greatest living chronicler of the Indian heartland. Ruskin Bond has been writing evocative stories about the dusty towns and settlements in the hinterland for decades but this is the first time his finest stories on the theme have been brought together in a single volume. Timeless classics like Time Stops at Shamli, Bus Stop, Pipalnagar, and The Night Train at Deoli rub shoulders with brilliant new stories that have never been published before like Strychnine in the Cognac, The Horseshoe and When the Clock Strikes Thirteen. Vibrant, poignant, beautiful and tragic, these stories show a master storyteller at the height of his powers.
