The prolific writer from the hills, Ruskin Bond's new book 'The Enchanted Cottage' is out. "My new story book 'The Enchanted Cottage' is a long short story of mine and it has a supernatural element, a bit of philosophy-- not frightening but dramatic scenes. It is a ghost story, of sorts, and it has a lot of nature in it, and life in the mountains... I have written in the last few months. I must have written roughly 500-600 short stories in last 70 years, and this is one of my favourite," Bond said in a recent social media interaction with his fans.
The author also shared more details about his new novel, and he spoke about his favourite horror writer, and books in the live social media interaction with his fans from his house in Landour, Mussoorie. The interaction was hosted by his publisher, HarperCollins India. Read excerpts from a quick Q&A session with Ruskin Bond here:
