‘After class hours, or whenever I was free, I would slip into the
library and sit amongst these hundreds of books, reading them,
arranging them, cataloguing them or just being with them. Here I
made many lifelong friends.’
There are many who as they grow older, long to reach out to their friends
from school. And then there are others who are lucky enough to have
friends from school as a constant presence in their life. As we grow older
and embrace (or at least try to) the myriad aspects of adult life, we often
like to look back at our school days and reminisce about ‘simpler times’.
The bonds we make in school are some of the most cherished relationships
of our life, and are often what brings us solace on a hard day.
In My School on the Hill, Ruskin Bond brings us a collection of short stories
that remind us of the beauty, the excitement, the joy, the confusion and
the love we felt as schoolgoing children. From cricket matches in random
empty fields, to Boy Scouts adventures, to finding peace in the quiet school
library—this book has something for anyone looking for a moment of joy.
