  • Description

    The Second Jim Corbett omnibus collects three books by Jim Corbett about his life as a hunter and conservationist in the jungles of India and Africa.

    Summary of the Books

    My India

    Corbett writes about the country which won his heart and gave him his reputation as a big game hunter: the land of India. He writes about his feelings, his concern for the people and his thoughts on the natural wealth and variety of the culture. This book showcases Corbett’s affection for India and its people.

    Jungle Lore

    In this book, Corbett comes the closest he ever has to give readers an autobiography. He writes about his fascination for the jungle, his ideas on the fragile nature of wildlife and the need for conservation. He writes of his affection for Indian natives, the jungles, the Kumaon hills of the Himalayan foothills and his thoughts on the melancholy way in which mankind has forsaken its environment.

    Tree Tops

    In his last memoir, Corbett returns readers for one ultimate hunt in the jungles he loves. He writes about his time in the Kenyan game reserves, and he describes the beauty of the wildlife with great verbosity. He gives readers a heartfelt account of his experiences and his observations at the reserve.

    About Jim Corbett

    Edward James "Jim" Corbett was a British hunter and tracker-turned-conservationist, writer and naturalist. He is remembered for hunting a large number of wild tigers and leopards in India. A colonel in the British Indian Army, Corbett also wrote Man-Eaters of Kumaon.

    A Modern Sage in the Jungles of Kumaon

    Jim Corbett is a name I used to love, while in school, for his Man Eaters of Kumaon, over fifty five years ago.Since then, we have learned that he wrote six books and read them all in various editions.In the process, the love has blossomed into admiration , and respect.

    These six books have been collected into two omnibus volumes by Oxford. The first contains his stories of man eaters, as thrilling as ever. The present volume, the second Omnibus, contains his three other chronicles, two of ...

    (02) Jungle Lore (where the author reminisces about his escapades in the forest areas of Kumaon and his observations of the flora and fauna of th...
