Notes From A Small Room

"???It???s the simple things in life that keep us from going crazy;??? Ruskin Bond writes in this enchanting collection of essays; a celebration of the uncomplicated pleasures of a life well-lived. In ???A Good Philosophy??? we learn of Bond???s life philosophy; or the lack of it; and ???In Search of the Perfect Window??? we join him in meditating on the qualities of a good window and its importance to a room. Whether contemplating the sound of a tropical downpour; on the fragrance of lime trees in the Himalayas or on a year spent with his cat Suzie; Ruskin Bond transports us to a quieter; more elegant world where time moves at a gentle pace. He invites us to revel in the intricacies of life and to poke fun at its absurdities; with insight; wisdom and wit."
