Man-eaters of Kumaon (Paperback)

Jim Corbett wrote these accounts after tracking tigers and leopards that had turned to hunting people in the hill districts of Kumaon. The chapters read as field narratives: village reports, pug marks, nights spent waiting, and the long walks between one settlement and the next. Corbett's descriptions of the forest are as careful as his accounts of the hunts themselves, and the same knowledge later made him one of India's early conservation voices. This Fingerprint! Publishing paperback collects the stories across 264 pages, a length that suits reading one episode at a sitting. Reader notes: • First-hand accounts from the Kumaon hills • 264-page paperback, Fingerprint! Publishing • Forest and village detail alongside the hunts • Background reading for wildlife and conservation interest For readers of wildlife writing, travel narrative and Indian nonfiction classics, found at Boipoka.
