About this listen

 Rain in the Mountains brings together some of Ruskin Bond’s most beautiful works from his years spent in the foothills of the Himalayas in the town of Mussoorie. Through vivid images and lucid writing, Bond evokes the everyday sights and sounds, and captures the essence of mountain life. The musings on his natural habitat, in both prose and poetry, offer a view of that simple and affable world. Some of his writings featured in the book are ‘Once Upon a Mountain Time’, ‘Sounds I Like to Hear’, ‘How Far Is the River’ and ‘After the Monsoon’.

Rain in the Mountains will transport the reader into the quiet world of the mountains, lit with an eternal charm. Art & Literature Authors Poetry Travel Writing & Commentary Celebrity

It is a love-letter to the region of India, rich in details of fauna, flora and people. The reader is Indian, which is nice, but be prepared for some subcontinental pronunciation. Also, the editing is imperfect - there are quite a few repeated passages. But if you can endure those minor annoyances, it is a feast.
