The Wild Life of India: some of the noblest and most beautiful animals in the world are to be found in India. But they are unlikely to survive outside the pages of Kipling and the memoires of big-game hunters unless something is done quickly to save them. E.P. Gee has spent half a lifetime studying and photographing animals and birds in India. He has sat in the open within ten feet of a lion, has fallen in front of a charging rhinoceros and he has a strange tale to tell of a bird mystery in Assam; but although it is full of good stories, this is not a book of daring deeds. It is a unique panorama of the wildlife resources of India—her sanctuaries, the animals which inhabit them and the men who have done most to preserve them. For anyone interested in wildlife or the natural resources of India this is an enthralling and informative book. For the animals themselves it may make all the difference between extermination and survival.
