There's something very charming about Ruskin Bond's books. His subtle sense of humour coupled with dreamy descriptions of the mountains has enchanted everyone. His latest book is no different. Comprising of some old and few new stories, Song of the Forest was all in all a breezy book.

Of course, one would enjoy it more if they don't mind the repetitive stories but perhaps for the very first time, I was slightly impatient in finishing it. But that's just me. He brings nature to life through his writing and you end up paying attention to even the unattended plant growing in your home. But there's also stories of both friendly and frightening ghosts, of dreams and princesses etc. One can never differentiate between truth and imagination when it comes to Bond's stories. I guess that's what makes his books quite endearing.

Oh, did I mention about the charming part already? :)
