Ruskin Bond, India’s most loved author, is known for his innumerable stories, essays, poems and novels. A wordsmith, his life, work and philosophy open a window to a myriad world where solitude sits by tranquillity to ruminate time now and then. In The Beauty of All My Days, Ruskin opens a window to his relationships: his friends, his love-unsaid and unrequited, his parents’ difficult marriage, his passage to England, his meeting with Diana Athill and the making of his first book The Room on the Roof and many other journeys-real as well as imaginary-that continue to remain untold and therefore unknown. Oneiric and candid, this memoir-with the rarest of photographs-is going to be one of the most sought-after books of our times.
