The Jim Corbett Omnibus, Volume 1

Jim Corbett’s tales of tiger hunts are legendary. Mostly alone, he would

traverse the hills and jungles of India, hunting his quarry using blood

trails, examining pug marks and following broken twigs and branches, often

putting himself at risk. Later, he became a conservationist, taking up the

cause of the endangered royal Bengal tiger.

This comprehensive volume contains some of Jim Corbett’s best-known books and

short stories, from The Man-eating Leopard of Rudraprayag, a gripping tale of

a notorious leopard, to the fascinating stories in Man-eaters of Kumaon and

The Temple Tiger. Showcasing Corbett’s acute awareness of jungle sights and

sounds and enlivened by his descriptions of village life, this is a must-read

for those interested in wildlife and tiger tales.
