It’s A Wonderful Life: Roads To Happiness by Ruskin Bond

Ruskin Bond’s evocative writing — be it about the adventures of Rusty, the shenanigans of friendly ghosts or the frolic of birds and bees — has the power to immediately lift our mood and transport us to a happy place. Amid the gloom and doom of the pandemic, the grand old storyteller gives us a peek into his lockdown journal in It’s A Wonderful Life, laced with his keen eye for observation and characteristic wit. Through short essays and everyday vignettes, he seeks out the little joys of living, compelling us not only to delight in his small pleasures but also look at our own lives with a little more hope and happiness.
