This is a collection of mountain stories, thoughts and poems by Ruskin Bond. These sum up the feelings and reason behind his return to Dehra Dun and Mussoorie in the 1950s, when he decided not to live in big cities. His return to the places where he lived as a child marked the beginning of the journey as a renowned writer. The author's love for nature makes him look at it, as his close and dear friend. He tells his readers that not only is he aware of the presence of nature, but nature too regards him as a friend. The wonder of childhood, beauty of nature and the connection with nature shines through all the stories and poems in the collection. A treat for Ruskin Bond fans to relax and enjoy nature.
