The author, a naturalist, revisits the scenes of some of Corbett's adventures, and offers his own views on tiger, elephant, dhole, tahr, goral and mahseer. "The essays in this book convey the beauty and thrill of Indian forests and their wildlife to the non-specialist. Dr Johnsingh takes us for walks in the jungle with him, and we see through trained eyes what we would never otherwise look for. In each essay he tracks a different animal and tells us not only of his experiences, but also of the habits, biology and current condition of the species he is discussing. The essays are at once a celebration of India's wilderness and a passionate - and informed - cry for us to save it before it is too late."
