I need a window to look at the world without; for only then can I look at the world within. A room without a window is rather like a prison cell, and the soul is inclined to shrivel up in a confined space. … Car horns, children calling to each other as they return from school, a boy selling candyfloss, several crows chasing a hawk! Never a dull moment. And the magic mountain looks on, absorbing everything.

Ruskin Bond

Born in Kasauli in 1934, Ruskin Bond grew up in Jamnagar, Dehradun, New Delhi, and Shimla. His 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 authored over 500 short stories, essays, and novellas, along with more than fifty books for children.
A recipient of the Sahitya Akademi Award (1992), the Padma Shri (1999), and the Padma Bhushan (2014), Ruskin Bond is one of India’s most cherished writers. He lives in Landour, Mussoorie, with his extended family.
