ENCHANTED COTTAGE

Odd things were happening to me in my little cottage near the forest ... There was no terrifying dream that night, or the following night, but the cottage did have an almost tangible atmosphere about it -- a feeling for the past, or rather, a feeling of the past, as though something happened in it long ago, something sad and lingering. Mystery, drama, and a hint of the supernatural are all expertly woven together in this compelling story set in the hills. The Enchanted Cottage is a haunting masterpiece by the exceptional storyteller Ruskin Bond. Sucharita Sengupta Suri's illustrations perfectly complement the story, making this a unique crossover picture book.
