Childhood. A time of endless adventures and daring discoveries. A time when the worlds all its Attendant fantasies, some good, some not so much-open up in front of the curious little eyes of impressionable minds. A time of both wonderment and bewilderment, and topsy-turvy tales. In this book, Ruskin Bond compiles just some such stories that he loved from his childhood. Join the mad Hatter in his crazy tea party and then rush off with Sindbad the sailor on another of his escapades. Meander with Mowgli and his furry friends in the jungles or be party to the legend of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. A world of wonder awaits.
