The Whistling Schoolboy and Other Stories of School Life || Book Review

Rating : ⭐⭐⭐⭐

“And when all the wars are done,a butterfly will still be beautiful.”

We take a trip down the memory lane and Ruskin Bond recollects some of his eventful incidents of school life. The book has 16 heartwarming and hilarious stories.

“Those who do not read are the unfortunate ones. There’s nothing wrong with them, but they are missing out on one of life’s compensations and rewards.”

Although most of them are about ghostly encounters there are others where he speaks about his adorable father, his mischievous friends and eccentric teachers. He talks about his passion for reading and writing and his unsupportive environment. The narration is vivid and beautiful, never a dull sentence.

“But being alone as a matter of choice is one of life’s pleasures"

A fulfilling book for everyone and anyone.
