This Is the Jungle

The stories in this book are masterpieces of adventure stories set in the depths of Indian jungles. Charismatic maneaters and other beasts of prey people these delightful anecdotal tales by the celebrated author of jungle lore. Full of dramatic tension and excitement, they also reflect the author’s genuine concern for Indian wildlife in danger of extinction by the encroachment of a developing population.

The people who live in the wilder places of the earth, or visit them very frequently, whether in the Old World or the New, in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere, form a strange fraternity irrespective of race, colour or creed.
