I have never enjoyed a book as much as this! Me, being a person who strongly believes that the older days were far more beautiful literally cried while reading this book. Mr. Bond reminisces about the older days and simpler times by narrating incidents and people. Picnic was a topic on which a chapter is based and as we think right now, who goes on picnics anymore? My question is why don't we? What has happened to us?

One of my reasons for loving his writing so much is the base of this book and thats why this is one of my most favourite book. Please give it a read, there's no way you won't love it. Also, do you see how beautiful the cover is

As always, exceptional writing. I now want to travel back in time to the passages he so lovingly described.

This was a nice book overall. Reading Ruskin's memoirs reminded me of similar times in my own life that I thought I had long forgotten. There seems to be a fine touch of humour in the book and I was often smiling and laughing as I turned the pages. The various photos spread out throughout the book from events in Ruskin's life are also delightful and you can not help but wonder how fast time progresses.
