A town which; when he knew it; was one of pony-drawn tongas and rickshaws; a town fond of gossip but tolerant of human foibles; a town of lush lichi trees; charming winter gardens and cool streams; a small town; a sleepy town; a town called 'Dehra'. With classic stories and poems like 'Masterji'; 'Growing up with Trees'and 'A Song for Lost Friends' and previously unpublished treasures like 'Silver Screen'; 'Dilaram Bazaar' and 'Lily of the Valley'; this anthology is replete with journal entries; extracts from the author's memoirs and; of course; poetry; non-fiction and stories set in or inspired by Dehra. Evocative; wistful and witty as only Ruskin Bond can be; A Town Called Dehra is a celebration of a dearly-loved town as well as an elegy for a way of life gone extinct.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"India Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45088018104471,"sku":"9780143064695","price":195.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780143064695.webp?v=1769203056","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/town-called-dehra-9780143064695","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
