A Year of Celebration and Spectacle - Paperback
by Ruskin Bond (Author)
'Perhaps their hearts were on fire, I don't know; but for all their excitability and flashiness and brashness they were lovable and sincere friends, and today, when I look back on my two years in London, that Christmas party is the brightest, most vivid memory of all...'
A year is made up of so many moments-there is joy and exhilaration, but also crushing sadness; there are the marvellous highlights you remember for years to come, and the moments of peaceful quietude that bring you comfort and contentment. And through it all, we have our loved ones by our side, the ones that make it all worth it.
