About this title: Jim Corbett's fame rests on his tales of hunting in the Indian jungle, but he was acutely sensitive to the fragility of nature and well ahead of his time in understanding the need for conservation. Jungle Lore is the closest Jim Corbett ever came to an autobiography, revealing his life-long passion for the people, jungle, and animals of the Kumaon hills in the Himalayan foothills, and his despair at humanity's estrangement from its environment.

"Jim Corbett strikes again with a superbly written piece of literature that will have you clutching at your armrests tenaciously in the hopes that the book will not end with young Corbett being mauled.
In this book Jim strives to help the non-initiated understand India and its people, places, and what he terms "jungle-sensitiveness." If you like stories full of suspense and danger and tales told around campfires, you will enjoy this book.
If, like myself, you grew up in an equatorial third-world country, this book is for you. No doubt it will bring back memories of jungle-walks and trips through the banana patch as it did for me.
