About this title

About the Author:

From hunting down more than a dozen maneaters thought to have taken more than 1,500 lives, to helping create the Association for the Preservation of Game in the United Provinces (prior to Independence), and establish India's first national park-Edward James Corbett has pioneered it all. Apart from being India's most famous hunter of man-eating tigers and a committed conservationist, Corbett was a consummate storyteller. His adventurous and perceptive tales have not only entertained and captivated a whole generation of readers, but also opened their eyes to the cause of the environment.
