Hardcover with green boards, and an unclipped dustcover. Illustrated endpapers and supporting illustrations by Anton Lock.

James Chilton, one of the best-known big-game hunters of the Bhurgi district in India, tells in this book of the adventures of a tiger who, under the dreaded name of BHURGI BAGH, becomes both terror and mystery to every jungle village throughout an area covering hundreds of square miles.

We read of his cub-days, of his first kill, of the jungle-folk and their friends and enemies and of Bhurgi Bagh's personal rival the terrible Pang.

The author not only knows the secrets of wild animal life in the jungle-he knows how to reveal them in convincing and exciting narrative.

Half title, colour frontispiece, Title, Dedication, Contents, Author's Note. 238 pages text with supporting illustrations.
