Book excerpt: First published over sixty years ago, this book will appeal to all those who have experienced the beauty and fascination of the Indian jungles, and who have seen its wild denizens whether of animal or bird life. It provides an admirable account of sport and forest life in India. As the title aptly suggests, the author was mauled by a tiger, on one of his adventures into the jungle, a shocking story he narrates in this book and as the reader shall learn, his 'two injured limbs had, of course, to be amputed.' What shines through is his love for the animals and the jungles, despite the misadventure, making this book so special. In the same breath that the author narrates the story of the attack, he ends the chapter with these golden words that make this book such a classic, "my ambition now is to be able to go back to India for the purpose of "shooting" these splendid brutes with a cine camera." Also noteworthy are the spectacular colour hand-drawings of the ,jungle scenes created by the author himself!
