Loading his revolver, he moved to his wife’s bedside and shot her through the head.’ It is the many myths and legends that make a place interesting. With the beautiful tales of nature’s gifts, there exist stories of nature’s wrath. There exist stories of spooky, haunted houses and of forests where ghosts dwell. There will be naysayers who will deny the existence of the paranormal, but it is the mystery of the unknown that attracts a traveller to a destination. In Legends of the Hill, Ruskin Bond puts together a selection of stories and personal essays that take us into this world of the unknown that lives among the majestic hills. From girls who disappear from dilapidated train stations and murder mysteries that remain unsolved, to lovers who live on as ghosts—a world of intrigue awaits!

Whether he’s sneaking doughnuts, mooning over a pretty girl, or snookering the local boys to do his work for him, Tom Sawyer is the consummate schemer—but his charm and easygoing nature keep him from being in anyone’s bad graces for long. However, when Tom teams up with his friend Huck Finn, their sleepy Missouri town had better watch out. Based on Mark Twain’s memories of growing up along the Mississippi River, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is both an idyllic picture of boyhood and an affectionate satire of adult conventions.
