Till the Clouds Roll By (Hardcover)

Description

Till The Clouds Roll By: Beginning again by Ruskin Bond and illustrated by Mihir Joglekar was published by Penguin. This is the second of Ruskin Bond’s memoirs for children talking about the changes in his life after his father’s death when he was ten and his vacation to Dehradun from over seventy winters ago-remembering his days with rare humour, remarkable charm and twinges of heartache.

A couple of years after his father’s death, ten-year-old Ruskin travels to Dehradun to spend his holidays with his new family. As he reacquaints himself with his mother, now remarried and with a busy social life, his stepfather and new siblings, a pensive Ruskin longs for his father’s company, his stamp collection and the old gramophone. Trying to escape this unfamiliar place, he immerses himself in books and explores the forest glades, canals and bazaars of the little town, forming some unlikely friendships on the way.
