Oxford India Paperbacks Ser.: Man-Eaters of Kumaon by Jim Corbett VG

Description: About this productProduct InformationMan Eaters of Kumaon is the best known of Corbett's books, one which offers ten fascinating and spine-tingling tales of pursuing and shooting tigers in the Indian Himalayas during the early years of this century. The stories also offer first-hand information about the exotic flora, fauna, and village life in this obscure and treacherous region of India, making it as interesting a travelogue as it is a compelling look at a bygone era of big-game hunting.Product IdentifiersPublisherOxford University Press, IncorporatedISBN-100195622553ISBN-139780195622553eBay Product ID (ePID)1347301Product Key FeaturesBook TitleMan-Eaters of KumaonAuthorJim CorbettFormatTrade PaperbackLanguageEnglishTopicAnimals / Big Cats, Asia / India & South AsiaPublication Year1993GenreNature, HistoryNumber of Pages228 PagesDimensionsItem Length8.5inItem Height0.5inItem Width5.4inItem Weight8.6 OzAdditional Product FeaturesLc Classification NumberSk305.T5Edition Number2Reviews'It was not only the ripping-yarn action of the stories and the engrossing narratives that held me, I was just as much taken by the man who recounted them.
