Between the boy and the river was a mountain. The thickly forested mountain hid the river, but I knew it was there and what itookedikeI had heard of it, of the fish in its waters, of its rocks and currents and waterfalls and it only remained for me to touch the water and know it personally. The snowy Himalayas, where the Bhagirathi, the Mandakini and so many others arise, the towns and villages thatie by their banks, theegends and stories that are as immortal as these waters, all come alive in A Song of Many Rivers. Prepare to get swept away by the tales and narratives about these beautiful, majestic and beloved rivers in this collection of some of Ruskin Bond's most compelling river stories.
