Ruskin Bond is an eminent contemporary Indian writer of British descent. He prolifically
authored inspiring children’s books and was awarded the Sahitya Akademi Award to honor his
work of literature.
Born on May 19, 1934, in Kasauli, India, he was the son of Edith Clarke and Aubrey Bond. His
father served in the Royal Air Force and frequently moved from places to places along with his
son. Following the sudden demise of his father, he moved to Dehradun where his grandmother
raised him. He received his early education from Bishop Cotton School in Shimla. During his
school years he won several writing competitions, including the Hailey Literature Prize and the
Irwin Divinity Prize.
At the age of 17 in London, he began to write his first novel, The Room on the Roof. The novel
charts the life of an orphaned Anglo-Indian teenager. He runs away to live with his friends as he
escapes the tyranny of his strict guardian. The book has a strong autobiographical element as it’s
based on his actual experiences living in a small rented room on the roof in Dehradun. It was not
published until he was twenty-one. He was awarded John Llewellyn Rhys Memorial prize for his
first novel. Its success gave him an impetus to write its sequel Vagrants in the Valley.
Subsequently, he returned to India and worked as a journalist in Delhi and Dehradun for a few
years. Later, he relocated to a town in the Himalayan foothills, Mussoorie, where he pursued
freelance writing since 1963. His essays and articles were published in numerous magazines,
such as The Pioneer, The Leader, The Tribune and The Telegraph. Till now he has written over
three hundred short stories, essays and novels and over thirty children’s books..
