Jim Corbett’s stories of tiger-hunting arc among the classics of adventure. His career as a hunter of man-eaters—whether leopard or tiger—stretched from 1907 to 1939; and the books in which he described both these expeditions and his daily life in the northern India of those years were bestsellers. Here is a selection of his writings, taken from, among others, Man-eaters of Kumaon, My India , and Jungle Lore , which will introduce Jim Corbett to a new audience, as well as give renewed pleasure to his old one.
