Reading and writing have always been a thing that affects me personally. Both are the source of nourishment for me and each other as well.

“Read well, write well.” These were the words of the English Teacher of Ruskin Bond and this advice was the one which he took and never regretted, as mentioned in the introduction of the book. And having the same title, this book is all about how keeping the writing simple, and clear and about the things surrounding you gives life to words. And through this collection, Mr. Bond shares a few of his stories, poems, and experiences which could encourage the readers to write.

Mr. Bond’s writing is synonymous with comfort, for me. The way his words calm me, makes me smile, give me a reason to be happy, make me cherish the little things in life, and be grateful for what I have is something that I admire and am thankful for.

There are so many stories in this collection, which I re-read, for now calming they were. Being connected with nature and its surrounding, they account for few of the rawest emotions and feelings.

This was my fifth book by Mr. Bond and I have never read his poetry before this book begins with two poems, and I cherished them so much, re-read them and love their beauty and simplicity of them. There were a few poems in between and end as well, and after reading them, I’m highly interested in reading more of his poems. Also, this one is my favourite collection from all the ones that I have read to date.

Go for it to cherish the beauty around yourself, go for it to find comfort, go for it when you need a friend, go for it to find little joy in life, and go for it to read some of the most touching, heartwarming, and engaging stories and poems. I will give it 5/5 stars.

I was provided a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

You can buy the book from Amazon or any bookstore near you!
