Ruskin is back with a ‘Diary’

Spicezee Bureau

New Delhi: India’s one of the most-loved author, Ruskin Bond, is back with a collection of brand new stories that are a non-stop laugh riot.
Published by Penguin, ‘Mr Oliver’s Diary’ by Ruskin Bond is sure to be liked by his little readers.

Mr Oliver, a history teacher arrives in Simla with a train-load of hungry boys to start a new term at the prep school. As he records the antics of the amazing characters there, and all that they get up to, we quickly realize that there is never a dull moment. A fire, a missing Headmaster, runaway students make sure not a day goes by when Mr Oliver has nothing to write in his diary.

The book has stories and characters that have never appeared anywhere before. With his runaway wig, pet shrew and endearing dry wit, Mr Oliver is sure to become as well-loved as those other vintage Bond characters, Uncle Ken and Rusty.
