"Heartwarming and Fascinating Tales."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Surely one of the most interesting and modest writers of the 20th century. This book captures a bygone age of India in the time of the Raj. Jim Corbett was a man who loved the people and animals of India, this book is a doorway into those parts of his working life that are not probably as well known as his exploits as the hunter who was called on through out his life to relieve the inhabitants from the terror of Tigers and Leopards the had turned man eaters.

Description

Jim Corbett is world famous for his classic man-eater stories. However, the three volumes collected here show a very different side to this remarkable man.In My India, he describes the villages of the Kumaon Hills, and the customs and lifestyles of the people he encountered. Jungle Lore is the closest Corbett ever came to writing an autobiography, combining recollections of his earliest days with frank views on the need for conservation which were well ahead of their time. Finally, in Tree Tops, the only book Corbett set outside his beloved India, he captures the savage beauty of Kenya's wildlife as well as telling the story of the royal visit of 1952, during which Princess Elizabeth learned she was Queen.
