Description
Last of Jim Corbett's books on his unique and thrilling hunting experiences in the Indian Himalayas.
Concluding the narrative begun in the famous Man-Eaters of Kumaoun, Corbett here recounts five stories of skill and endurance. As always, he writes with an acute awareness of all the jungle sights and sounds, his words charged with a great love of the human beings that lay within his hunting terrain.
Together with modesty, calm and precision of his prose, these qualities make these stories very much a part of the classic Corbett corpus.
