"It seems all possible when you read fiction but this is a true story of a Forest Conservator who dared to risk his life and went beyond the call of duty for a tigress he considered his very own. Everyone reading this absorbing and heart-warming book is sure to fall in love with Khairi, who was a truly gorgeous tigress. Besides telling the kind of uplifting tale which is all too rare these days. Khairis story also reveals much of the wild mystique surrounding this most majestic of animals, the Rajah of the Indian jungles, the Royal Tiger. The author, being a life long serving forest officer, kept an immaculate log of the slightest of all Khairi’s actions, making the book a profoundly thrilling account of the dangers encountered and the terrifying moments endured. This book shows above all, the unbelievably warm loving bond between humankind and the tiger. Khairi’s story is also invaluable for scientific research purpose, particularly in the realm of pheromones. How we wish that all technical data were as delightfully easy to read as the life of Khairi the beloved Tigress. We have something very precious and unusual here–a scientifically trained observer who can write beautifully from the heart. This book is bound to remain for ever a milestone in the literature on Indian Wildlife. Khairi is so brilliantly brought to life in the book that you almost expect to hear her come padding up behind your chair, purring loudly."
