March 8, 2012, Pune, India: Popular travel and children’s writer Ruskin Bond released his latest book, The Kashmiri Storyteller. These eleven recollections and stories were written 40 years ago.
The Kashmiri Storyteller is a book that takes the reader back in time of days when Ruskin Bond was a small boy and lived with his grandparents in Dehradun. The narrator is an old Kashmiri who on a winter's evening, would light his angithi and entertain the children who came to his shop in the Landour bazaar.
He narrates a wide range of stories from the Man-Whom-Nothing-Could-Please to the sagacious Kazi who was sensitive enough to believe that a crow could carry a message. His stories also take a tilt towards the paranormal and the eerie and then lands with narrations of love & romance and banter & humor. Adding to the highlights of stories such as The Hill of the Forty Brothers, Brides for Seven Princes, In the Land of the Peris and A Very Tall Story, the illustrations in the book are remarkable.
