Man-Eaters of Kumaon.

CORBETT, Jim.

Item Number: 413

London: Oxford, 1946.

First Edition. Octavo. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Corbett was an Indian-born Englishman who became legendary for his ability to track and kill man-eating tigers and leopards—a valuable skill in a region where a single tiger could kill as many as 400 people. This is old-fashioned storytelling at its best. Named to National Geographic’s 100 Greatest Adventure Books of All Time.
