500			_aIn this collection of stories, which includes a little girl waiting for her father to return from war, a Eurasian schoolboy and his finicky grandmother who detests the English, a middle-aged man who goes back to school and a destitute lad coping with a school full of wealthy students, Ruskin Bond brings together some of the finest writing ever to capture the unforgettable years of school-life. About the Author Ruskin Bond's first novel, The Room on the Roof, written when he was seventeen, won the John Llewellyn Rhys Memorial Prize in 1957. Since then he has written several novels (including Vagrants in the Valley, A Flight of Pigeons and Delhi Is Not Far), essays, poems and children's books, many of which have been published by Penguin India. He has also written over 500 short stories and articles that have appeared in a number of magazines and anthologies. He received the Sahitya Akademi Award in 1993 and the Padma Shri in 1999.
