Great Stories for Children

'We grow old. But sometimes, we hanker for old friendships, the old loves. Sometimes I wish I was young again...' Set in Ruskin Bond's beloved hills, this much-loved collection of classic children's stories transports the reader to a quaint world peopled with an eclectic cast of characters - from Grandfather, whose peculiar affinity for pet pythons, more often than not, lands him in trouble; Miss Mackenzie of Mulberry Lodge, who strikes up an unusual friendship with a young boy; a troublesome Pret, who enjoys wreaking havoc upon the household he lives in; to Ruskin Bond himself, who has a strange encounter with a mysterious woman on a cold winter night. Simple and heartwarming, Great Stories for Children will engage and delight all young readers.
