The Adventures Of Rusty: Collected Stories has been written by Ruskin Bond, one of India’s most-loved authors of children’s books. This book features the titular character of Rusty, an anglo-Indian boy who bears close resemblances to author when he was a child himself. In this way, it can be considered a semi-autobiographical, semi-fiction work which has been written in lucid English.
The Adventures Of Rusty: Collected Stories features stories from the time when Rusty studies at a residential school located in Dehra. It also features stories where Rusty is surrounded by the vastness of nature and its infinitely beautiful creations. This book also features Uncle Ken as a character who has trouble finding a well-paying, steady job. Also included is a story where Rusty plans to travel 800 miles in order to meet his Uncle Jim, who is a sailor.
Ruskin Bond is the author of several bestselling novels and collections of short stories, essays and poems.
Ruskin Bond was awarded the Padma Shri by the Government of India in 1999, a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Delhi government in 2012 and the Padma Bhushan in 2014.
