As quaint as Bond is. When you open a book by Ruskin Bond, its like opening a window to a multilayered scenery where there is an ocean with some hills in the backdrop,a hut and also a city skyline. You may ask hows that possible but only Bond can do it. And surprise is, it all seems so natural.
Tales of Fosterganj is one such portrayal. A sleepy town called Fosterganj is recounted by Bond who is the narrator but also a character. The good,bad,colourful,laidback characteristics of men are shown in most of the natives of Fosterganj like a wonderful blend of connected stories. So you smile,laugh,judge, opine,shrug just as a fellow human would do. Ruskin brings you that closer to his stories, a knack not many authors have.
