In this delightful collection; Ruskin Bond introduces us to the Dehradun he knows intimately and loves unreservedly the town that he had spent many years of his childhood and youth in. A town which; when he knew it; was one of pony-drawn tongas and rickshaws; a town fond of gossip but tolerant of human foibles; a town of lush lichi trees; charming winter gardens and cool streams; a small town; a sleepy town; a town called Dehra . With classic stories and poems like Masterji ; Growing up with Trees and A Song for Lost Friends and previously unpublished treasures like Silver Screen ; Dilaram Bazaar and Lily of the Valley ; this anthology is replete with journal entries; extracts from the author s memoirs and; of course; poetry; non-fiction and stories set in or inspired by Dehra. Evocative; wistful and witty as only Ruskin Bond can be; A Town Called Dehra is a celebration of a dearly-loved town as well as an elegy for a way of life gone extinct.
