Till The Clouds Roll By by Ruskin Bond [Paperback]

A couple of years after his father's death, ten-year-old Ruskin travels to Dehradun to spend his holidays with his new family. As he reacquaints himself with his mother, now remarried and with a busy social life, his stepfather and new siblings, a pensive Ruskin longs for his father's company, his stamp collection, and the old gramophone. Trying to escape this unfamiliar place, he immerses himself in books and explores the forest glades, canals, and bazaars of the little town, forming some unlikely friendships on the way.
