Publisher's Summary

Great Stories for Children is a potpourri of short stories that effectively transports the reader to the fascinating world of its endearing characters. The ensemble includes Tutu the monkey, who is fond of troubling the no-nonsense Aunt Ruby; a pet python who makes sudden appearances at the most unusual places; a troublesome Pret who enjoys stirring up the household he resides in; three young children stranded on the Haunted Hill; Himalayan bears who feast on pumpkins, plums and apricots; a crafty thief who has a change of heart; and Ruskin Bond himself, who meets a ghost at a resort in the middle of the night.

loved it, the stories took me in to my childhood and the narrator is apt as best as the stories. I listened to all the chapters as many as 6 times.

Enjoyed listening to it before sleeping!

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book, everyday I listened to one chapter and later I was at much ease to fall asleep quickly!
Descriptions of Himalayan villages are just beautiful, felt like grandparents telling me bed time story!

Simple stories by a simple writer

Listen to these simple stories by a simple writer that would put a smile on your face & tell that simple life in indeed beautiful. The writer, Ruskin Bond, is himself in, in many stories, batchelor, but not single!!!
It would be the biggest regret of my life that it's been 15 years, since I'm in Doon, but couldn't meet him, who lives just 30 km from my home, and, in all likelihoods, it would remain just an empty wish!!!
