This is Kenneth Anderson's detailed and instructive account of life and wildlife in the jungles of Northern India, hung around narratives of tracking down man-eating tigers, panthers, leopards and elephants. "It must not be imagined, however, that the forests of India are always stocked with man-eating tigers and leopards, or rogue elephants. Generally they do not exist, and the jungles are then safer to wander in than any busy street of a capital city, where the possibility of being run over by motor traffic at any moment is considerable.
