Wonderfully evocative of an India that has disappeared. Jim Corbett hunted man-eating tigers and leopards in the foothills of the Himalayas for more than thirty years, and his accounts are thrilling. Despite the excitement of the chase, he brilliantly evokes the horror of the ordinary people of the hills who have to try and eke out a living under the ever-constant threat of violent death. I would have no hesitation in recommending this wonderful book.
