Overview of The Hunter's Friends: Selected Writings Book

Jim Corbett, ace hunter and inimitable raconteur, was also a gifted observer, not just of the jungle but also of the people around him. In the seventeen sketches included in The Hunter s Friends, readers will meet the men and women Corbett lived, hunted and worked with, both in Kumaon Corbett s stomping grounds for most of his life and in Mokameh Ghat, where he was employed by the Railways. Kunwar Singh , intrepid poacher of the Kaladhungi jungles, tells young Corbett the cautionary tale of his friend, who was taught a harsh lesson by a tiger because he couldn t climb trees; in Putli and Kalwa , Corbett befriends a brave young girl leading a bullock to her uncle s house even as the man-eater of Muktesar prowls about in search of a victim. And, in Adventures with Magog , Corbett s delightful and touching profile of his hunting dog, he describes the terrifying yet funny consequences of disturbing a sleeping tiger. Compassionate, insightful and witty, The Hunter s Friends is a book to read and to keep returning to.
