Writes Stephen Alter in his introduction: ‘The vivid imagery of Corbett’s prose remains as crisp and clear as a spring morning in the foothills of the terai. SKU: BE500036857152 He held the rank of colonel in the British Indian Army and was frequently called upon by the Government of the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh, now the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, to kill man-eating tigers and leopards that were preying on people in the nearby villages of the Kumaon-Garhwal Regions. Together with modesty, calm and precision of his prose, these qualities make these stories very much a part of the classic Corbett corpus. Concluding the narrative begun in the famous Man-Eaters of Kumaoun, Corbett here recounts five stories of skill and endurance.
