THE JIM CORBETT OMNIBUS

Jim Corbett’s tales of tiger
hunts are legendary. Mostly alone, he would traverse the hills and jungles of
India, hunting his quarry using blood trails, examining pug marks and
following broken twigs and branches, often putting himself at risk. Later, he
became a conservationist, taking up the cause of the endangered royal Bengal
tiger. This comprehensive volume contains some of Jim Corbett’s best-known
books and short stories, from The Man-eating Leopard of Rudraprayag, a
gripping tale of a notorious leopard, to the fascinating stories in
Man-eaters of Kumaon and The Temple Tiger. Showcasing Corbett’s acute
awareness of jungle sights and sounds and enlivened by his descriptions of
village life, this is a must-read for those interested in wildlife and tiger
tales.
