Mr. Oliver’s Diary, authored by Ruskin Bond, is one of the delightful books written by him for children. Summary of the Book Mr. Oliver is a history teacher who comes to Simla with a gang of young boys to begin a new term at the Prep school. Not a single day goes by without Mr. Oliver having something to chronicle in his diary. He pens about the missing headmaster, boys who are extremely good at jokes and pranks, the girls’ school next door, a lovely lady called Anjali Ramola, a fire that breaks out one day, a hungry leopard and over a hundred frogs on the loose! All of these events are enough to create a ceaseless laugh riot! Let a copy of Mr. Oliver’s Diary find a warm place on your bookshelves.
