Garden Of Dreams

<b>�I�ve come to see you,� she said.<br> �For a long, long time, I hope.� And I took her by the hand and led her into my home, my garden of books.<br> And that was how Kiran came into my life. [�] If you meet her, she will tell you about the garden of dreams�perhaps she will take you there some day, for she is a girl who can make dreams come true.</b> <br> In a world that treasures �being realistic� more than daydreaming, we sometimes forget that the only way to aim higher is to daydream a little�how do we have ambition without a little hope? It is at times like this when we should remember the desires of your youth. How we dreamed bigger than we could afford to; how we leapt and then thought of the fall.<br> In <i>Garden of Dreams</i>, Ruskin Bond brings together stories and personal essays that talk of such youthful exuberance. He talks of love and its effect on a tired soul; of friends that become your anchors through stormy days, of romance kindled over chocolates; and many such tales that rekindle our zest for life. This book is for all those who dare to be a little na�ve in this sombre world.
