Dust on The Mountain by Ruskin Bond

The hill station, will all its glitter, was just a pretty gift box with nothing inside.

When twelve-year-old Bisnu decides to go to Mussorie to earn for his family, he has no idea how dangerous and lonely life in a town can be for a boy on his own.

As he sets out to work on the limestone quarries, with the choking dust enveloping the beautiful mountain air, he finds that he longs for his little village in the Himalayas.

Anitha Balchandran’s illustrations add a bright splash of colour to one of Ruskin Bond’s most memorable stories.
