Days from the Heart of the Home
Originally I wanted to call this book "The Day Book, Birthday Book, Diary, Journal, Calendar, Organization Book from the Heart of the Home!" A good descriptive name but maybe a little long. I decided Days would say it all. For years I have kept a little book where I jot down the day's happenings, my memories & now these books are just about the story of my life.
On the Far Side of the Cadillac Desert with the Dead Folks
This is a signed and numbered limited edition of 500 copies. A mysterious bacteria has escaped a lab and is causing all the "dead folks" to re-animate. Bounty hunter Wayne is hunting his quarry Calhoun in a "Dead Dancing" bar where patrons pay to dance with female zombies and sometimes other things... After a violent struggle, Wayne manages to handcuff Calhoun who's wanted for raping and murdering a young girl. In order to collect his bounty, Wayne has to cross the Cadillac Desert to a place called Lawtown where criminals are executed by being pulled apart by tractors.
Parts Unknown
They plunged headlong into matrimony and, penniless but rapturous, set out for Parts Unknown.
White Clouds, Green Mountains
Time passes, and yet it doesn't pass; people come and go, the mountains remain. Mountains are permanent things. They are stubborn, they refuse to move. . .no matter how hard they try, humans cannot actually get rid of the mountains. That's what I like about them; they are here to stay. Mountains-snow-capped, green, and filled with stories. For decades, Ruskin Bond has lived among them and his writings abound in descriptions of these hills-of life as it is lived here, of animals and birds who sometimes even wander into his room, of the many interesting and eccentric characters who he has met here. From having his roof fly off in a freak storm to becoming the 'writer on the hill', Bond has seen it all. Funny, elegiac and filled with beautiful descriptions of people, animals and places, this collection is for every mountain and nature lover.
