J.E. Carrington Turner worked for the Indian Forest Service, and this book is a result of thirty years spent among the animals in the Indian Jungles. Each of these stories is true, but what makes this book different is the author’s understanding of the forest and his respect for animal life. Through these well-told dangerous tales of man-eaters, the author constantly explains the reason why such beautiful, clever and graceful creatures like leopards and tigers who in the ordinary course of their lives feed on natural prey suddenly turn savage and evilly-disposed to humans. The reasons hold true more so today with the balance in nature so drastically altered against these innocent animals. The author was posted in various places across India and thus this book is a collection of vivid and thrilling stories based right from Mahabaleshwar and the Godavari basin in the south to some more real adventure among the famous man-eaters in Kumaon and Almora.
