When Darkness Falls and Other Stories

In When Darkness Falls, Ruskin Bond emerges yet again as a master storyteller. We meet the war veteran Markham, whose deformation ends in tragedy; Susanna, the merry widow who loved each of her seven husbands to death; and Kundan Singh, the reckless rake whom women find irresistible. There are also fascinating stories from the author s childhood, about the eccentric characters and memorable animals of old Dehradun. Told with Bond s classic wit, these charming stories will enchant and delight in equal measure.
