Strange men they were. Soldiers, mercenaries, free-booters. Europeans all, braving the heat and dust of the merciless land of India. Some fought for wealth, some for glory, some to appease their natural craving for danger. Their glorious and ingenious exploits are filled with thrills, romance, violence and adventure. Ruskin Bond re-creates the turbulence and colour of India in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The true saga of the lives and loves of these Europeans in Delhi, Jaipur, Aligarh and Lucknow often reads stranger than fiction.

Ruskin Bond's first novel, The Room on the Roof, written when he was seventeen, won the John Llewellyn Rhys Memorial Prize in 1957. Since then he has written several novels (including Vagrants in the Valley, A Flight of Pigeons and Delhi Is Not Far), essays, poems and children's books, many of which have been published by Penguin India. He has also written over 500 short stories and articles that have appeared in a number of magazines and anthologies. He received the Sahitya Akademi Award in 1993 and the Padma Shri in 1999.
