About this listen

Here is a collection of stories about school life that will appeal to every kind of school-goer. These are incidents from the author's own life, when he was a shy, quiet boy in boarding school who chose the library over the football field and was known as the best cook among the Boy Scouts. Read about beloved and eccentric characters like the strict Mr Oliver, Miss Babcock, the school nurse, and the principal who once went missing. Get the shivers at the strange and wonderful happenings at school, from the lady in white roaming the school grounds to the ghost who turned up in a bed at the dormitory!

Hilarious and heartwarming, this collection brings together well-loved Ruskin Bond classics as well as brand-new stories and is for every listener who has enjoyed going to school or is in school right now.

heart warming stories

narrator did a fantastic job, giving apt dynamics and voice modulations. it was very intriguing to see how quickly Ruskin bond sets the scenes of shimla with myriads of bubbly character with such elegance and simplicity in words. such a great listening experience 😁

must read

soothing, charming, and delightful. one of the my favourites to return to at moments of disquiet and anxiety. no one writes with as much soul as Ruskin Bond.

Ruskin bond as usual

I didn’t like the narration at all for this book. Kind of gave me a stress while listening to.
