hahahaaa...it's very good travelogue as well.He was a real sportsman.He only hunted man eaters and did full justice to the game.In his later days took to shooting with the camera and vociferously took to wildlife conservation. Do you also have his Leopard of Rudraprayag..?

I have a copy of this! -- as well as The Temple Tiger And More Man-Eaters of Kumaon. Unfortunately, I've never gotten around to reading either of them.

This is an all-time favorite of mine. The champawat maneater, the pipalpani maneater, the bachelor of powalgarh are etched in my memory from my high school days (which is 30+ years ago).

A Jim Corbett omnibus was released a few years back. All his works condensed into one tome. Nice winter reading. A companion book is Great Indian Hunting Stories by Stephen Alter http://openlibrary.org/books/OL1828997M/Great_Indian_hunting_stories

My first Thriller Book....Amazing narration and descricptive.

absolutely positively definitely love his books!!!!!

This was one of my favorite books as a child. My uncle used to tell us stories from the book, narrating them with dramatic flair whenever we made him happy by doing some chores for him.

Absolutely fantastic books. The gripping narration and style were thrilling.

My Dad was a very big Corbett fan and introduced me to him when I was in elementary school. A larger than life icon to me ever since!

iWAS A Jim corbett fan. it has been a while since i read these books. It i sfittinhg that te national park has been named after him

an absolute king ,man of the jungle.wish i had the pleasure of meeting him and learning from him

I have read all Marathi translations when I was 10. They all contain the thrill of the hunt and love of man and animal alike.

Simmiler and even more fascinating are the Kenneth Anderson's account in Nilgiri jungles! He is also a brilliant narrator of big game hunting, specially man-eating tigers. Jim Corbett's adventure are thrilling as well.

Superlike Corbett!!!

Grew up with these stories!! :P

i have got a copy of this book , autographed by corbett.. dated1945
