Talking about his latest book, The Enchanted Cottage, Ruskin Bond says, ‘This is a love story, a nature story, and a ghost story, all in one.

Add to that, special effects by way of Sucharita’s lovely illustrations. This story has more than one dimension.’

Our lives are mysteries that are constantly unfolding.

Odd things were happening to me in my little cottage near the forest…

There was no terrifying dream that night, or the following night, but the cottage did have an almost tangible atmosphere about it — a feeling for the past, or rather, a feeling of the past, as though something happened in it long ago, something sad and lingering.

Talking about The Enchanted Cottage, Tina Narang, Publisher – HarperCollins says, ‘Ruskin Bond is unstoppable, just when one thought there couldn’t possibly be another supernatural story, another horror story, another ghost story lurking in the hills that he hasn’t already brilliantly written, he surprises us with another spine-tingling tale set in the hills.

You get pulled into the Enchanted Cottage to experience first-hand the unfolding story, the haunting landscape, the unfathomable characters, the chilling atmosphere – and the exceptional illustrations only heighten the experience.

With its gold foiled cover, and remarkable story and illustrations, this is a unique crossover picture book for both young adults and adults that you will most certainly want to have on your bookshelf.’
