Man-eaters of Kumaon

This book is Jim Corbett´s own story of his experiences with the man-eating tigers of Kumaon. To the excitement of the chase and the kill, which Major Corbett imparts in a simple and direct but vivid and dramatic style, is added a picture of jungle life that is rare in the history of literature of this kind. His love of nature, his knowledge of jungle ways, his keen observation of wild life, have all played their part in creating a story of the cunning and cruelty of the man-eater pitted against the courage and resourcefulness of man.
