‘He gave a full-throated roar and moved purposefully through the tall grass. And the roar came back to him, calling him, calling him forward: a roar that meant there would be more tigers in the land!’ 

In the vast tapestry of the world, where earth and sky converge, a delicate thread binds humans and the wild. Beneath rustling trees, within deep forests, and across endless plains, a story of coexistence unfolds—often unnoticed, yet profound.  

Monkey Trouble and Other Stories is a collection of Ruskin Bond’s writings that invite the reader to reflect on the responsibility and wonder of being part of this fragile yet resilient planet, where the secrets to life’s greatest mysteries are found in the smallest moments of connection. From the humorous to the terrifying, experience all that can happen when man meets the wild, through the sensitive and vivid prose of the master storyteller. 


Ruskin Bond is known for his signature simplistic and witty writing style. He is the author of several bestselling short stories, novellas, collections, essays and children’s books; and has contributed a number of poems and articles to various magazines and anthologies. At the age of 23, he won the prestigious John Llewellyn Rhys Prize for his first novel, The Room on the Roof. He was also the recipient of the Padma Shri in 1999, Lifetime Achievement Award by the Delhi Government in 2012 and the Padma Bhushan in 2014. 

Born in 1934, Ruskin Bond grew up in Jamnagar, Shimla, New Delhi and Dehradun. Apart from three years in the UK, he has spent all his life in India and now lives in Landour, Mussoorie, with his adopted family.
