Buch
(Paperback, 2012). (2012) 2017 reprint. 8vo paperback (138 x 214mm). Ppxx,142. B/w photographs and illustrations. Very good copy. A collection of previously unpublished articles and letters by Jim Corbett. "This is vintage Jim Corbett from the Press archives: from writings on man-eaters, nature, and his beloved Kumaon, personal letters, and articles written for newspapers and gazettes by his contemporaries to letters exchanged between Corbett and his publisher showcasing the development of his bestselling books. Together they reflect Corbett's complete empathy with the people of Kumaon, his great understanding of wildlife, and his deep thinking on conservation and the need to protect the tiger and its future. Including evocative line drawings and with a plate section decoted to rare archival photographs, this book will appeal to all admirers of Jim Corbett, the man and the writer." .
