Just Tigers

Just Tigers brings together
all Jim Corbett’s stories about shooting tigers, many of whom were
man-eaters. Taken from Man-eaters of Kumaon, The Temple Tiger and More
Man-eaters of Kumaon and Jungle Lore, these fourteen stories are as fresh and
thrilling as the day on which they were first published. They show, too, why,
besides his legendary exploits as a hunter of man-eaters, Corbett was one of
India’s most important conservationists. As Valmik Thapar writes in his
introduction: ‘As you thrill to his exploits in the jungles of Kumaon, spare
a thought for his legacy. In part due to his efforts and the people he
inspired to carry on his work after him…we still have over 2,000 tigers
left in India, the largest population of wild tigers in the world.’
