He wrote his first novel, The Room on the Roof, when he was seventeen which won John Llewellyn Rhys Memorial Prize in 1957. Since then he has written several novellas, over 500 short stories, as well as various essays and poems, all of which have established him as one of the best-loved and most admired chroniclers of contemporary India.
In 1992 he received the Sahitya Akademie award for English writing, for his short stories collection, "Our Trees Still Grow in Dehra", by the Sahitya Akademie, India's National Academy of Letters in India.

‘Would you rather live here or in that poky little house in the town?’ asked Grandmother.
‘Here,’ said Koki. ‘But only if you are here too, Granny.’
‘The trees will be here,’ said Granny.
A grandmother telling the tales of the past to her granddaughter; a mysterious kiss from a stranger in the dark; schoolboys taking off for a trek to a glacier; an old kitemaker reminiscing about his heydays; and a beautiful village girl whose charms a city boy can’t resist. This is a collection of stories of life in the hills and the joys, sorrows and excitement it holds.
Written by Ruskin Bond, Memories of Hills and Dales will entertain, amuse and charm you with its shades of romance, happiness, grief and humour.
