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.

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.

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

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.
