Anything by Jim Corbet - now available in two Omnibus editions.

amazing true tales of life in 1900-1930s India - life, people, societies; and tiger and leopard hunting after maneaters.

He trained my grandfather in jungle survival techniques before he took his ghurkas into Burma to fight the Japanese and my grandmother knew him before the war. Fascinating to read of his amazing life and he happily has a gift for telling a story.
