Roads to Mussoorie

Roads To Mussoorie is a set of tales about Ruskin Bond s longtime place of residence, Mussoorie. Ruskin Bond has lived in the Himalayan region for most of his life, and in Mussoorie for decades. His love for this region comes through in all his writings. In Roads to Mussoorie, he writes about life in Mussoorie, depicting the place through a series of stories surrounding many interesting characters. The realistic stories and situations, clothed by his humorous style, brings alive the place and its people. The title reads Roads to Mussoorie and aptly, as the author writes about his travels from and to Mussoorie over the many years. He also then goes on to include a few sketches about life in the town, the scandals and interesting incidents surrounding family and friends. The humour and attention to detail succeed in recreating the author s world in the minds of the readers.
