The man-eating leopard of Rudraprayag

Jim Corbett First published 1947

About this book

Set in India in the 1920's it forms a part of a series of books by Jim Corbett about hunting man-eaters that caused fear and devastation across large parts of rural India. One of the leopards killed over 200 people (many more escaped and died later from their injuries) in 6 years. He is always honest about the fear he felt and the stress that not managing to kill one of these beasts left him with. A very good read and insight into a bygone era of the Raj.
