Description

Man-Eaters of Kumaon is a book written by hunter-naturalist Jim Corbett.

It details the experiences that Corbett had in the Kumaon region of India from the 1900s to the 1930s, while hunting man-eating Bengal tigers and Indian leopards. One tiger, for example, was responsible for over 400 human deaths.

Man-Eaters of Kumaon is the best known of Corbett's books and contains 10 stories of tracking and shooting man-eaters in the Indian Himalayas during the early years of the twentieth century.

The text also contains incidental information on flora, fauna and village life.

Seven of the stories were first published privately as Jungle Stories. Corbett's most famous work, this book is a timeless classic.
