content: After reading Jim Corbett's works, it comes as no surprise that the Indian government named a national park in the northern reaches of the country after him. A compilation of his experiences in the field (primarily hunting man-eating big cats) affords the reader the luxury of finishing a story in short order, but like a good novel, you have a hard time putting it down. Intelligently written by a dedicated sportsman, the stories reveal a complex man with a deep respect for the natural world around him, unique in today's world and probably much more so earlier in this century when India was still under English rule.The stories will appeal to a large audience, you don't have to be a hunter or even an outdoors person to enjoy these writings. If you're like me, you'll find yourself considering things you've never thought of before. Check it out!
