Why read it?
1 author picked The Night Train at Deoli and Other Stories as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Ruskin Bond is known more for his simple stories about everyday people in the Himalayan foothills (like a North Indian R.K. Narayan). He does throw in the odd story, which seems like a folktale with a surprising ending like A Face in the Night and The Eyes Have It. This livens up the collection more, as you don’t know when you will get one of the unexpected plot twists.
His books ooze with his love for his adopted country, and he writes with such tenderness about young characters that they are wholesome and fulfilling to read.
What I love…
From Rohit's list on story collections with unexpected endings.
