"The Temple Tiger and More Man-Eaters of Kumaon"

by Jim Corbett

"The Temple Tiger" is one of my favourite hunting books. Jim Corbett's books detail his exciting exploits hunting the man-eaters of pre-WW2 India and Pakistan.

Set in the Himalayan forests and mountains, Corbett came into close contact with a number of man-eaters whom were responsible for the deaths of unbelievable numbers of humans. His writings bring to life the Indian jungles - "the jungle folk" - his close encounters with some of the most dangerous of all game and his fondness for many of his stories fellow travellors.

This is about the only way to enjoy the hunting of these grand and deangerous beasts of India, the wild leopard and the magnificent Tiger.

I hope you enjoy a number of short extracts from his books.

My copy of "The Temple Tiger and more Man-Eaters of Kumaon" by Jim Corbett was published by Oxford Paperbacks of Oxford University Press SBN 19 562257 X 1989.

I can recommend you will enjoy these books if you can find copies to purchase.
