The Oxford India Illustrated Corbett Book

Unlike Jim Corbett's other books, My India sketches the kind and tender human being within the ruthless hunter. With sympathy and concern, this book details Corbett's intense love for India and Indians, and also portrays the life, tradition and folklore of rural India - which at the time of Corbett are mostly remote from any modern transport facilities and secluded amongst other similar villages or vast jungles.

The book reflects the childhood experiences of Jim Corbett and the making of Jim Corbett. In this book Jim Corbett also talks about his professional career and the decisions that he made, which in return made him what he was. Perhaps, this is the only book which Corbett has dedicated to detail the people closest to his heart, and how they influenced him in his crucial decisions at critical points of time during his numerous encounters with the wild cats.
