New Delhi: Popular writer Ruskin Bond, a storyteller loved by children and adults alike, is coming out with a set of eight brand new stories in his latest book titled, “Death Under The Deodars: The Adventures of Miss Ripley-Bean”.
The book comes after a long break in the writer’s literary career during which he did not pen any fresh content, although many of his older works were adapted and published.
“We are very pleased to present the first collection of brand new stories by Ruskin Bond in years. There are 8 stories not revisited, not adapted, but absolutely fresh stories- of mystery and murder.
“‘Death Under the Deodars’ is vintage Ruskin – full of wit and memorable characters. An absolute delight to read; I think Ruskin’s fans will be hugely thrilled to discover him anew as a writer of murder stories,” Udayan Mitra from Penguin India told.
The book is an outcome of numerous conversations between Bond and Mitra, during which the latter suggested that, “old-time Mussoorie with its atmospherics and its small circle of interesting characters would make for some fabulous murder mysteries”.
