In Scene's from a Writer's Life, Ruskin Bond recollects his earliest memoirs, which are rather bittersweet and relate to Jamnager where he lives till he is six. The happy hours spent in exploring the Ram Vilas Palace grounds and playing with his younger sister Ellen and the palace children are overshadowed by the acrimonious relation between his parents. Their estrangement while he is still a child leaves him with a lifelong sense of insecurity. His unhappiness is exacerbated by the untimely death of his father-his emotional anchor-when the author is just ten.
