A tale of sweet revenge
Ruskin is keen to teach his scatterbrained uncle a lesson. After all, he put him on the wrong train! Armed with gifts from his new friend, the stationmaster-yummy rasgullas and a pair of beautiful white mice-Ruskin devises the perfect payback.
Peppered with endearing characters and brought to life by delightful artwork, this is one of Bond’s most unforgettable tales.
