Review # 1 was written on 2008-03-24 00:00:00 Christopher Anderson With this, my journey with Corbett is over. Of course I will never forget this journey, and will surely re-visit it numerous times, but the fact that there won't be any new adventures saddens me deeply. Corbett's writings are like a warm hug. I have not come across a better environmentalist and nature lover than him. Corbett's love and respect for nature and it's habitants runs deep. In 'My India' you get to know the India in which he lived and the India he so dearly loved. 'Jungle Lore' spans twelve chapters in which he talks at length about the jungles in which he grew up. The last book, 'Tree Tops' is a short account of Princess Elizabeth's visit to Nyeri, Africa where Corbett accompanied her when she visited there. Although this book is a very nice collection, I don't think much of it will stay with me other than a few tales from 'My India'. 'The man-eating tiger of Rudraprayag' which was included in the first Omnibus remains by far my favourite Jim Corbett book.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-03-26 00:00:00 Linda Monson I read this book and it fascinated me to know that a person like Jim Corbett would be so amazingly daring and adventurous. He loved wild animals and that is evident in his writing. A good book to read.
