‘Our friends come to us by chance or by choice. They will not be with us all the time, but somehow, they will be around when we need them.’
ALL-TIME FAVOURITE FRIENDSHIP STORIES is a collection of twenty-five soulful and timeless tales about friendship in all its beautiful, surprising forms, featuring unforgettable characters and evocative illustrations.
From ‘The Playing Fields of Simla’ and ‘Rusty and Somi’ to ‘The Hidden Pool’ and ‘Two Boys and a Tiger’, each
story is filled with the warmth of companionship. There are schoolyard rivalries that turn into ties of loyalty,
chance encounters that become uncanny connections, friendships with animals and with nature itself and rare bonds that endure across distance, years and memory.
Curated by Ruskin Bond, this collection celebrates loyalty and longing, mischief and forgiveness, friendships that withstand time and separation and the magic of finding―and keeping―a friend.
