Born in 1934, Ruskin Bond grew up in Jamnagar, Shimla, New Delhi and
Dehradun. Apart from three years in UK, he has spent all his life in India,
and now lives in Mussoorie with his adopted family. Ruskin bond has been

Delhi Government gave him its Lifetime Achievement Award.
Life of author-
Ruskin was born in 19th May 1934 in Jamnagar. His father was a tutor for
the princes and princesses of Jamnagar palaces. His father worked there
until Bond was Six. Later, his father joined Royal Air Force, driving him
away from his father to his maternal house with his mother and sister.
Shortly, his mother separated herself from Ruskin’s father and married a
Punjabi Hindu, Hari. He was shifted to New Delhi with his father, his father
was then shifted to Calcutta, where he died from Malaria. At that time
Ruskin was Ten and was sad when he heard that his father was dead. He
then was shifted to Shimla and graduated in 1951 from Bishop Cotton
School and wrote one of his short stories ‘Untouchable’. Following his high
school education, he went to his aunt’s home at the Channel Islands and
wrote one of his first novels, “The Room on The Roof” this novel of Ruskin
won the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize in 1957, after this book won the prize,

Conclusion-
In conclusion the story of Ruskin Bond from a six-year-old child to a world-
famous author is quite astonishing. After losing his own parents and
siblings, he still produced one of the best novels and stories which I have
read and has even impacted in my life in many ways. He has been one of
the consistent writers, which always tries to complete his novel in a
certain period of time. He has been one of the greatest writers in our
history who has given the literary world a new source of inspiration to all
walks of life. Beside his Anglo-Indian roots, he likes Indian culture from his
childhood years. His struggling life revolves around hills and valleys of
Himalayan region. His character offers a teenager's perspective who are
battling with confusions about life, relationship, happiness and love.
