DRAGON IN THE TUNNEL

‘Although the India of Kim is
no more and the Grand Trunk Road is now a procession of trucks instead of a
slow-moving caravan of horses and camels, India is still a country in which
people are easily lost and quickly forgotten.’Did you know that Delhi was
half its present size in the 1940s and 50s? Can you imagine a Dehradun with
lush greenery, with hardly any commercial places? Do you remember steam
engines or have you ever sat in a train pulled by one?This book takes you
back in time as Ruskin Bond relives his memories in timeless classics like
‘Summertime in Old Delhi’, ‘Bhabiji’s House’,’ My Father’s Trees in Dehra’,
creating as only he can, vignettes imbued with nostalgia. Add to these the
punch of stories like ‘A Station for Scandal’, the thrill of ‘Picnic at
Fox-Burn’ and the surprise twist of ‘The Eyes have It’—and you have a story
for every mood!This collection of seventeen stories showcases Bond at his
story-telling best.
