Ruskin Bond'S Green Book
Ruskin Bond
When you relax in your small verandah or on a garden seat, take this book with you and open it at any page. You will be well rewarded. For, as the old proverb goes, 'There is money to be made in the market-place, but under the cherry tree there is rest . . .'
Ruskin Bond's first novel, The Room on the Roof, written when he was seventeen, won the John Llewellyn Rhys Memorial Prize in 1957. Since then he has written several novels (including Vagrants in the Valley, A Flight of Pigeons and Delhi Is Not Far), essays, poems and children's books, many of which have been published by Penguin India. He has also written over 500 short stories and articles that have appeared in a number of magazines and anthologies. He received the Sahitya Akademi Award in 1993 and the Padma Shri in 1999.
