About the Book

The laidback lifestyle and moderate climate of the Doon Valley and its surrounding environs make it the ideal retirement that it is. Some parts of the town in this region still retain a distinctive British character, while several have outgrown their colonial origins, transforming the area from an unhurried summer retreat to the bustling capital of a newly formed state. The anthology captures the unique flavour of the region - both its old world charm and the newer characteristics that now define parts of it. Most of the contributors to this volume have lived in the valley long enough to witness the changes have taken place. There is nostalgia here, and history too, and the social change. All the writers have lived in Doon and love the city and write about a region that has shaped them. Once Upon A Time In The Doon ...Includes writing by eminent authors, and also by gifted people, who writing entertainingly but whose occupations prevent them from becoming full-time writers. They may have spent the greater parts of the lives in the district, or they may have discovered it comparatively recently. Either way, their own personality traits have bearing on the subject, and the result is a variety of views and viewpoints. The richness and diversity of the Doon is captured in these personal stories and vignettes. This book of interest to one who has journeyed through the valley and explored it. It will be doubly so to those who have lived in it.

About the Author :
Ruskin Bond has been writing for over sixty years, and has now over 120 titles in print-novels, collections of stories, poetry, essays, anthologies and books for children. His first novel, The Room on the Roof, received the prestigious John Llewellyn Rhys award in 1957. He has also received the Padma Shri, and two awards from the Sahitya Akademi-one for his short stories and another for his writings for children. In 2012, the Delhi government gave him its Lifetime Achievement Award. Born in 1934, Ruskin Bond grew up in Jamnagar, Shimla, New Delhi and Dehradun. Apart from three years in the UK, he has spent all his life in India, and now lives in Mussoorie with his adopted family. A shy person, Ruskin says he likes being a writer because, 'When I'm writing there's nobody watching me. Today, it's hard to find a profession where you're not being watched!'
