Ruskin Bond’s autobiography ‘Lone Fox Dancing’ released late last month to much anticipation, quickly mustering up a wave of appreciation. As I read the book myself, I began to feel a sudden, sharp twinge of nostalgia. I realised that there were going to be hills (just like I remembered them), and the sound of crickets and cicadas breaking through the silence of the night – perhaps, if I was lucky, a friendly ghost or two!

These are memories that have endured with me since early childhood – well into my late twenties – and they’re memories that Mr Bond appears to have understood and honoured.

This book is all of him – and it leaves you with the strange and comforting feeling that really, you always knew him.
