Book Summary:

Rusty, the Boy from the Hills is a collection of short stories by Ruskin Bond that follows the childhood and growing-up experiences of Rusty, a sensitive and imaginative Anglo-Indian boy living in the hill town of Dehradun. The stories capture Rusty’s everyday life filled with curiosity, friendship, loneliness, and small but meaningful adventures in the hills.

Rather than focusing on a single continuous plot, the book presents episodes from Rusty’s world—his encounters with quirky relatives, close friends, and the natural beauty of the hills. Through these simple yet heartfelt stories, Rusty learns about kindness, belonging, and the joys of ordinary life. The book reflects Bond’s signature style of gentle storytelling, celebrating nature, innocence, and the emotional richness of small moments.
