WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES THIRTEEN

Sick was she on Thursday,Dead
was she on Friday,Glad was Tom on Saturday nightTo bury his wife on
Sunday.Loved for the evocative power of his short fiction, Ruskin Bond is
well-known for his riveting stories. Told in his distinctive style, this is
an eclectic collection of fourteen stories—from humour and horror to warm and
soul-stirring. Classics such as ‘A Long Walk for Bina’ and ‘Grandfather’s
Earthquake’ rub shoulders with tales of Fosterganj where lizards are chased
to prepare magic oil, while spooks and haunted mansions give you
goosebumps!Few writers can create as compelling stories and conjure up as
eccentric characters, as Ruskin Bond can. When the Clock Strikes Thirteen is
storytelling at its effortless best.
