Jim Corbett’s collection brings together ten accounts of encounters with dangerous man-eating animals in the Himalayan region. The stories include the Champawat tigress, whose reported death toll is part of the account, as well as “Robin,” a tribute to Corbett’s spaniel and hunting companion, and “The Bachelor of Powalgarh,” a sought-after big cat in the United Provinces during the 1920s. Together, the pieces connect wildlife encounters with the people, animals, and places involved in Corbett’s hunting experiences. The edition also includes an introduction by Ruskin Bond.
