About this title

Synopsis

Leopards prowl Christopher Ondaatje's imagination much like they stalk his books: dark and mysterious symbols of power, beuty and stealth that inhabit the pages of his acclaimed The Man-Eater of Punanai, Sindh Revisited, Journey to the Source of the Nile, Hemingway in Africa and Woolf in Ceylon. Now in this compendium of 12 true and fictional stories, Ondaatje has selected the best big cat tales from around the world. Collects classic and modern tales about these aristocratic felines, including tales by Christopher Ondaatje himself. Full-colour photographs throughout.
