An eclectic collection of stories, articles and verses, this anthology by Ruskin Bond is one of the funniest to be published in recent times. Including stories about a cricket match that defies all logic, a cheese with a less than pleasant o dour, and a goat that goes berserk in a drawing-room, The Rupa Laughter Omnibus is pure delight, from beginning to end.
