About this listen
Ruskin Bond emerges again, with a delightful set of sketches set in and on the way to his beloved Mussoorie. With an endearing affection and nostalgia for his home of over 40 years, Mr Bond describes his journeys to and from Mussoorie over the years, and then delves into the daily scandals surrounding his life and friends in the (not so) sleepy hill town. The pieces in this collection are characterised by an incorrigible sense of humour and an eye for ordinary - and most often unnoticed - details that are so essential to the geographic, social and cultural fabric of a place. Roads to Mussoorie is a memorable evocation of a writer's surroundings and the role they have played in his work and life.

nostalgia
The book is full of reminisce of Ruskin now.in his golden years. Roads to mussoorie is all about the essence of this wonderful patch of lands on earth. He talks about his expedition to mussoorie when roads r not made, then on the first motor path to mussoorie and to the present on car. Many places and lores have been explored.

My all-time favourite book
This one is my all-time favourite book. I have read it many times and now due to weakened eyes as a result of growing age, I listen to it on Audible. Thanks to Audible for bringing such a awesome real life audio book.

Knowing Mussoorie by means of a book
A heartwarming record of a bygone era in Mussoorie, eventually connecting you to the place by some invisible cord

Anecdotes about Mussoorie
A real feel good book filled up full of memories. Heartfelt and beautifully written by Mr Ruskin Bond, the man whose house i tried to visit whilst in Mussoorie but just didn’t have the guts to ring his doorbell.

A realistic picture of the northern hills and its people
Excellent book by Ruskin Bond. The locations, the people all play along in your mind while reading it.
However the narration is imperfect and a lot of Indian words are mispronounced by the narrator. This takes away the magic of the writing at times.

Simple and refreshing stories
It was a nice and a quick read. The narrator tone was sweet to ear but his pronunciation to some of Indian words mentioned in the book was not up to the mark

The fake Indian accent was annoying
Ruskin’s stories always feel personal and well articulated. It just felt off hearing the story in that accent.

Not my cup of tea
Not sure why, but I did not enjoy it as much as I would have wanted to. I know there are millions of Ruskin Bond's fans but I am not one, sadly.
