THE ENCHANTED COTTAGE by Ruskin Bond
5.0
Book: The Enchanted Cottage
Author: Ruskin Bond
Illustrator: Sucharita Sengupta Suri
Publisher: HarperCollins India
Pages: 60
The Enchanted Cottage by Ruskin Bond and illustrated by Sucharita Sengupta Suri is a book consisting of several stories, each connected with the other, written in autobiographical format. When the author went to live on the hill, away from the life of Delhi, he rented "The Enchanted Cottage" intending to write a book or a couple of them there. And the stories here give a glimpse of it, and how the author experienced many supernatural, haunting, and breathtaking events.
Ruskin Bond, as usual, fascinated me with the stories. The mystery, drama, and subtle thrill in the stories make them more interesting and intriguing. I have read stories by Mr. Bond previously which focused on nature and surrounding and people, but with this one, the addition of supernatural elements makes it an altogether different experience. The enigma of animals by which he was surrounded, their language, signs, and signals, and how it contributed to his life was amusing and "enchanting". The stories had an owl, crow, leopard, strange humans, daunting dreams, strong rain, and whatnot!
The illustrations by Sucharita Sengupta Suri were a treat to the eyes. Each illustration was perfect and was enhancing the reading experience, adding more charm and emotions to the stories.(Shared my favourite one in the post)
When the intriguing and captivating writing of Mr. Bond gets collaborated with the astonishing illustrations, it laid out this perfect book. If you are looking forward to reading an illustrated picture book, having some supernatural elements in it, with beautiful writing, you should definitely consider it. I highly recommend this book.
Thank you to the publisher for the book in exchange for an honest review!
