London is a throwback of Ruskin Bond’s yesteryear, highlighting his dream to
become a writer at a very young age. So, through this book Ruskin (as goes
Rusty) tried to explain the kind of struggle he had to become an established
writer.
Rusty, a boy from the hills of Dehradun, wants to be a very good writer and also wishes that his book should be sold abroad. Thus, he sets on a journey to reach London. Upon reaching there, he takes up a clerk’s job and manages to pen down a novel. Much to his amazement, he finds a publisher but fails to achieve the anticipated success he had in his mind. While staying there he experiences various thrilling activities and meets the greats like Sherlock Homes and Rudyard Kipling. In the end, he returns to India to write books all his life and leaves the world’s glamour which does not suit him.
