The test of a good story, Ruskin Bond says, is when a writer is able to teach a your reader's attention from page one, perfectly paragraph one, and hold it to the end. Each one of the stories that he has included in this collection pass this test, and with flying colours. Spine-tingling unputdownable tales, this collection takes you from a woman's struggle against the elements in the cold, snow-swept Prairies, to the thick of a jungle where a man bored with hunting animals decides, instead to hunt a fellow human. Filled with conflict, suspense and adventure, Thrilling Tales: A Selection of Hair-Raising Adventures is a page-turner from beginning to end.
