‘This won’t last. Not in this way. But if something like it lasts, we should be happy.’

Our memories are like the multi-coloured flowers in a garden—some happy, some sad; each special on its own, but all coming together to paint a beautiful picture of a life well lived. The ability to walk through this garden whenever we want is one of the greatest gifts nature has given us, and there is nothing quite like the contentment of the occasional trip down memory lane.

The Garden of Memories and Other Stories is a special collection that guides readers down the lanes of Ruskin Bond’s own garden on the occasion of his ninety-first birthday. Bringing together some of his most personal recollections and celebrated stories, this book offers a peak into the rich life of the writer on the hill in his usual inimitable and intimate style.
