A true classic and one of few books of its kind. Written by a hunter who later founded a tiger sanctuary, it gives us a rare insight into the hunter's mindset and simultaneously shows us the great amount of respect and awe Corbett has for tigers and other animals of the jungles he inhabits.
It was not only the ripping-yarn action of the stories and the engrossing narratives that held me, I was just as much taken by the man who recounted them. Through the most riveting episodes, his compassionate character and quiet voice seemed personally to speak to me ... The book has never paled, never dated, and I have never forgotten its significance or the astonishing, gentle man who wrote it. * Martin Booth, The Sunday Times *
