Book Summary of The Jim Corbett Omnibus
Jim Corbett's riveting accounts of shikar in the Himalayan foothills have kept generations of readers enthralled. The Jim Corbett Omnibus includes three enduring tales of Corbett's encounters with man-eaters.
Man-eaters of Kumaon contains fascinating stories of tracking and shooting of man-eaters in the Indian Himalayas during the early years of the last century. The stories in The Temple Tiger display Corbett's acute awareness of sights, sounds, and life in the Indian forests, as well as his love for the human beings living in the hunting terrain. Finally, perhaps the most exciting of all of Corbett's jungle tales, The Man-eating Leopard of Rudraprayag is a gripping narrative of a notorious leopard which spread terror in the hills of the colonial United Provinces.
Dramatic yet reflective, Corbett's writings are coloured by his deep concern and sympathy for the natural world as well as the local people and their traditions and customs. This vividly illustrated collection will appeal equally to Corbett lovers and to those concerned with the environment and wildlife.

Getting lost in memories of old India.
Stunning tales of stalking man-eaters on foot, alone on rocky terrains and inside deep woods described in a flowing narrative with exceptional detailing of the situations that create a three dimensional image inside your grey-matter.
Yet, this book is not just ordinary "shikar" stories. The narrator's deep love for jungles & the jungle-folk, quite evident in every piece of this book together with his appreciative view point of the simple but courageous hill-men living surrounding the Lower Himalayas goes on to make Corbett's writing a master-piece.
A must-read naturally !!

A master narrator
Jim Corbett is a master narrator. A must read if your are fond of animals and nature. I hardly knew anything about tigers, but after reading the book, i am sure i can go face to face with a tiger and may live to tell the tale ;)

Brilliant Book!
Very happy with this book; Jim Corbett does not disappoint!
Have been meaning to read a JC book for a very long time and finally got down to this. Love the language and descriptions that make it very realistic.

the feel of jungle
though the book is good one it gives u the feel of jungle but almost all the stories of the first part are repetitive in nature. All the hunting of the meneaters are almost same. it robs u of the thrill after first two stories.
