About this listen

'Remember the old road,
The steep stony path
That took us up from Rajpur,
Toiling and sweating
And grumbling at the climb,
But enjoying it all the same...'
(From 'Remember the Old Road' by Ruskin Bond)

Sometimes a journey can be of discovery. And in this compilation, Ruskin Bond has discovered hair-raising stories of other people's journeys taken many, many years ago. Bond describes the old track from Rajpur to Mussorie, surrounded by oak trees and colonial buildings in 'The Kipling Road'. Braving blizzards and bandits, M. Huc takes a momentous journey to Ladakh in 'Journey to the Forbidden City', while Osa Johnson, the only woman adventurer in the book, gives her awe-inspiring account of cannibals in 'A Woman Among Cannibals'. Be it travelling for shikar or search for new lands or just for survival, this book is packed with action!

The audiobook “The Kipling Road” gave an amazing experience of adventurous voyages as if the same incident is occurring live in front of us. This spine-chilling collection of adventures full of dangers, difficulties, and uncertainties by Ruskin Bond once again establishes the fact that RB is not only a top-notch writer but an enthusiastic reader too. Without reading hundred of books, it could not be possible to hand-pick such ultimate account of voyages/journeys. His labors are truly justified by the narrator Vivek Madan with an exquisite voice full of right expressions. Without such a mesmerizing voice, this audiobook could not resonate with the heart of the reader.

A spine chilling collection of voyages.
