In ‘A Good Philosophy’ we learn of Bond’s life philosophy, or the lack of it, and ‘In Search of the Perfect Window’ we join him in meditating on the qualities of a good window and its importance to a room. Whether contemplating the sound of a tropical downpour, on the fragrance of lime trees in the Himalayas or on a year spent with his cat Suzie, Ruskin Bond transports us to a quieter, more elegant world where time moves at a gentle pace. He invites us to revel in the intricacies of life and to poke fun at its absurdities, with insight, wisdom and wit.
