This really put a smile on my face. The world's gone mad these days. Going back in time through these adventure stories helps me tune things out and relax.
One of the best series I've listened to in a while. Something about the old-world ethics and manners that have now largely gone. You know it's good when the sadness comes because there is no next book.
Another great job! I can’t tell you how very much I enjoy every one of your stories. Each one is like a personal gift from India! Thank you very much for your work in creating these wonderful performances. 🇺🇸🐅🇮🇳
Umm I found out about 50-60 people a year are still killed by man eaters today in India. Shocking to me 😮. I find your voice and speaking style the best out of all the audiobooks I have ever heard. Thank you
SON I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR SOME TIME. ITS BEEN A LONG GAP SINCE THE LAST UPLOADING. ANYWAY THANKS FOR THIS. GOD BLESS YOU WITH LONG HEALTHY AND WEALTHY LIFE. PLEASE DO ALL KENNETH ANDERSON BOOKS. MY SON , WIFE AND DAUGHTER IN LAW. ARE YOUR FANS NOW. THANKS AGAIN.
What a great story! I wish the young hunters knew better. Tiger is a phenomenal adversary, way better equipped than a human in a jungle setting, easily noticing all the human movement around the kill, and knowing exactly where things are, fully capable of hatching an undetected ambush. A man with a rifle too has little chance. It's only through sheer risk taking ability that these beast are killed.
Really very good 👍 you have narrated so good. You should tell the story of Sundarban tigers. Still in 2021 people do get their life lost in the hands of tigers in sundarbans
Thanks for including maps in the start. Makes it more believable to see the places the author talks about. Always a pleasure to listen to you narrate. If I may make a suggestion, consider reading some of Sir Samuel Baker’s works. Hope the best is yet to come.
I have been waiting for your next story for quite sometime....... Am listening to this 4th time as I sleep. It is a soothing balm after a hard day's work. Great work brother.... Waiting for the next one.
What a magnificent courages s man was Kenneth Anderson and his companions who were loyal to his efforts to rid those poor terrified villages of a man eater Once can hardly imagine what the victims and the hunters and hunted felt the terror of what may be awaits them at any moment
Very nice narration sir.. enjoyed each and every one of your episodes.. remember reading these tales as a kid growing up in 80s..India should have these as part of their text books to pay homage to Jim Corbett and Kenneth Anderson, who risked all to rid the people of the villages from these man eaters
Excellent point! Indian school boards don't mention Corbett or Anderson at all in their curriculum. Atleast not to my knowledge when I was growing up in India in the late 90s and 00s. While some of these stories may be unsuitable for school kids, there are plenty of other works by them that are worthy of inclusion.
@@selvalore Absolutely.. something like My India by Corbett transports you back to the India of that time and age, which today's kids will never be able to experience. Some of his stories can definitely be included as chapters
Great job ! I hope you keep them coming. The maneater of THAK or TREE TOPS. And all the many tiger hunters books over the years. Thanks for your hard work !
So Mr Anderson, Mr & Mrs McTavish were disgusted and annoyed that the locals removed the body of thier loved one, not allowing them a chance to sit over it? Maybe should've sat over Mr Todd's remains, am sure Mr Ins wouldn't have objected. Unlike Jim Corbett, there was a definite streak of racism in Kenneth Anderson, which could probably be ignored given the era, if he was half as good as Corbett. Sometimes he was completely unprofessional and sounded as if making things up.
Yes, others have noticed this as well. It's upto you to make what you will of the content in Mr. Anderson's writings. Regardless, thank you for the comment!
Thank you for this. Awesome narration. Was inspired by your book readings to do one of my own from one of my own books! Not half as good as this though. This is totally brilliant.
Hello Pearl! I appreciate your comment and I wish you the very best in your own reading. Just keep at it and like most things in life, you will get better with time.
I absolutely love this story.. but it always seems to me that Jim Corbett was more sensitive to the feelings of common Indian villagers compared to other white hunters like Anderson. To them a Britisher's life was more expensive compared to an Indian.
Would love to have a reading list accessible for this genre. Absolutely adore these stories. Can anyone recommend somewhere to buy the books and browse titles? Thank you so much for uploading these, they are always the highlight of my day
Appreciate the interest and support. Besides the well known and easily available works of Corbett and Anderson online, I suggest you go to shikariconnection.com and check out the titles they have listed. There's a whole section on tiger hunting and links to purchase the title (if available). Additionally, many of those titles are available for free as ebooks on archive.org
I'm liking the inclusion of the maps as i have been looking at modern India and trying to see where these events took place but not having much success.
Glad to hear this. A listener had actually made a suggestion in one of the previous videos. For sure, some visual context always helps. Thanks for listening!
Isn't it amazing that he was annoyed that he couldn't leave the Indians bodies out there to sit over but there was absolutely no mention of leaving Todds body out there to sit over.
It is interesting how the remains of the english boy were removed immediately, even though he was only half eaten, but Mr Anderson was not happy on removal of remains indian victim at Hollalkere.
Thank you for the comment Mr. Singh. I get the point you are making. This was a different time and all we can do now is enjoy an excellent story from the author without worrying about a few moral shortcomings in the narrative.
@@selvalore first of all i would like to thank you for the reply and for all your efforts you are putting by bringing us these wonderful stories of good old days. Being from Kumaun i have heard many stories about the britishers and their conduct, and most of the times I feel like those officers were much more committed and responsible.
I'm sad iv heard them all unless you find a new story I'm listening to ones iv already heard you make it like I'm there with Kenneth Anderson and at times i want tell him what sit on the ground here tonight? Hell no
Wonder if Anderson would have let the corpse of his child or wife remain undisturbed as bait. I know I couldn't, nor be angry with any family refusing their loved one be left exposed as tiger bait.
Ronald your ethos is in the right place. Anderson was young when he wrote this and his boisterous enthusiasm and a fair bit of sensationalism is evident in his writing.
Interesting that they wouldn't use a white man's body as a bait and cremated it immediately but got annoyed when they couldn't use a poor Indian villager's dead body as a bait and was cremated by relatives. Not surprised!
@@selvalore i can understand brother... but i wish anderson sir stories were also available in hindi like corbett sir... i have read all corbett sir books in hindi language... trust me brother..when we read in hindi..orignal feel comes in mind that i am wandering in real jungle at that tym era... but...the way you explain.. is really...mind blowing....i wish i could get in hindi tooo... by the way thnks for reply.. stay blessed bro
I understand why you may feel this way. The British of the time thought differently from each other as individuals just as we do today. There are still the untouchable segre8by cast in India by some of their own country men and women. After reading many of Corbett and Anderson's books and some of their old communications with friends I think they did look at things a bit different between them. On the other hand it always appears the people in the country appreciated their presence and the modern rifles.
Whilst I would really have loved to have met Jim Corbett who seems to me to have been in tune with the nature of India, this writer has the air of a typical "Colonial". Superior, entitled and driving around shooting anything he finds, I find it hard to enjoy listening to his tales!
That's right. His earlier books recount incidents that happened while the British were around and there's a hint of elitism and entitlement in them. To he fair, the colonial officers acted worse, he was actually not involved in the colonial enterprise directly. Not everyone could be like Jim Corbett.
This really put a smile on my face. The world's gone mad these days. Going back in time through these adventure stories helps me tune things out and relax.
Umm about 600 people a year still killed by man eaters today. Shocked 😮
Exactly my sentiments!
You’re hissed to bjpse!
so right
Anderson, Corbett, Bell and all the legends lived exciting lives. Thank goodness they wrote about it. And many thanks to you for sharing these sir!
You're welcome! Yes for sure. We have their books to cherish and enjoy for the rest of time. Thank you for the comment.
Another great Kenneth Anderson story!
One of the best series I've listened to in a while. Something about the old-world ethics and manners that have now largely gone. You know it's good when the sadness comes because there is no next book.
Very good ! Saving this for later tonight when everyones asleep. I really enjoy the Corbett and Anderson stories. Keep up the great work !
Excellent! Thank you for your comment!
You are the best! Your narration keeps one pinned to the already excellent stories.
Truely riveting thanks for the keeping these stories alive. Great narration 👍
The are entertaining, indeed. Thanks so much for listening!
You really capture the authors tone in these books, thats why I prefer your audiobooks when it comes to man-eaters, thank you
Thanks for listening!

Thanks for sharing this one.
Thanks for the great narration and your hard work putting this together mate. 🙏🏻
I have listened to a dozen or so of these and thought surely I had heard the best, however, this tale was utterly gripping and tops them all!
Appreciate the comment!
@@selvalore Thank you for bringing these fascinating stories to my attention! I have been thoroughly enjoying your channel.

Great work my brother. Always love hearing the story at work makes it better

Wow, thanks for saying that! Excellent username.
That's because they don't allow the maneaters to be killed the tigers life is worth more than human life today
Only difference today is the Maneaters are not allowed to be shot the Maneaters life is worth more than 100 human life's today by the government there
It's very soothing to listen stories of KA and JC

Yessssssss! Thank you. It was very suspenseful, but ends too quickly. I wish the narrative kept going for longer.
It is entertaining, no doubt! Thanks again, for listening!

That was a joy to listen to. I need to go back and listen to and read more of Kenneth Anderson's works. Thanks a ton!

Thanks for listening!
Thank so so much for the English translation please don’t stop
Excellent as always.
Thank you ♥️
Thanks, as always for listening!
I wonder why there hasn't been any tv show based on Kenneth Anderson or Jim Corbett's books
Great job ! I hope you keep them coming. The maneater of THAK or TREE TOPS. And all the many tiger hunters books over the years. Thanks for your hard work !
Thanks for listening, Mr. Boswell!
Thanks bro..awaiting for new stories..keep it up
Thanks again for another amazing story, perfectly read by you as always
Thanks, as always for listening!
it's always a pleasure for me to listening to these stories of all the channels i have subscribed to this is by far my favorite thank you
High praise. But, i'll take it. Thanks for listening, Mr. King!
We have lantana here in hawaii. I hate lantana. Thick bushes with tiny sharp hooks that grap and rip and scratch and pull. Serious pain to hunt in
Spell binding stories.
Kenneth Anderson had brilliant intuition to escape the tiger’s attempt to kill him!
I love these. Please keep them coming!
Thank you for listening, Mr. Fitzgerald!
Thank you so much for your effort. listening to your stories is more interesting than reading the books. _/\_
Thanks, as always!

Thanks for the comment John!
your stories help me relax

Really loved the added map
Thanks for binging on these dodos!
It’s of another time, but he killing of the Sloth Bear was very sad
Thanks for the comment, Alan!
It would have been the greatest thrill to have been with him
So right, what an adventure that would have been, thrilling for sure.
I absolutely love this story.. but it always seems to me that Jim Corbett was more sensitive to the feelings of common Indian villagers compared to other white hunters like Anderson. To them a Britisher's life was more expensive compared to an Indian.

Thank you
Isn't it amazing that he was annoyed that he couldn't leave the Indians bodies out there to sit over but there was absolutely no mention of leaving Todds body out there to sit over.
Well done.
Got a new sub!😊
I’m surprised Kenneth Anderson agreed to hunt with this couple!
It seems that too many hunters were trying to kill the tiger!
Seized the LEADING MAN (?) I’d heard tigers always kill the LAST person if in a row.
Thats a very good point! I'd think the same as well.
It would have been great to be around in those4 days
Good
It is interesting how the remains of the english boy were removed immediately, even though he was only half eaten, but Mr Anderson was not happy on removal of remains indian victim at Hollalkere.

A new one is coming soon, Chester!
It was better that Kenneth Anderson mentioned dates of expeditions
❤
My doubt here is why the body of Todd was not used as bait by the hunters? Is it because he was an English saib
Wonder if Anderson would have let the corpse of his child or wife remain undisturbed as bait. I know I couldn't, nor be angry with any family refusing their loved one be left exposed as tiger bait.
Ronald your ethos is in the right place. Anderson was young when he wrote this and his boisterous enthusiasm and a fair bit of sensationalism is evident in his writing.
Why didnt Kenneth and his companions used that body as a bait,,, oh,, i forgot,, he was british,,
The duplicity.....
Which caliber they are using please mention
I believe Kenneth used a .405
Yea a model 1895 Winchester lever action in 405 calbier
This story is a little different in that the theory was that there were 2 tigers!
Why did the friend’s wife shoot a harmless bear?
Yes that didnt make sense to me too. That was the way back then I guess. She shot the bear, because she could and it was fun.
Interesting that they wouldn't use a white man's body as a bait and cremated it immediately but got annoyed when they couldn't use a poor Indian villager's dead body as a bait and was cremated by relatives. Not surprised!
I would have wanted a Browning BAR with me though and a frag grenade
I wonder if a flash-bang would stun a tiger or leopard…
Lol a grenade for hunting a dangerous animal will leave much collateral damage in its wake, not to mention its impreciseness would be a liability
After so long......
bhai hindi me banate... to shayd... ek aur jada maza aa jata...ur videos are really impressive but my english is not that good😁
Thanks for commenting Rahul! The books are originally written in English. I doubt if there is a good hindi translation available.

They may be old tigers who can’t hunt their prey anymore….sorry…I hope the tigers win!
What a sick thing to say
This story itself shows the hypocrisy of britishers ironically by an Englishman.
I doubt on Anderson's abilities and bravery here.
I understand why you may feel this way. The British of the time thought differently from each other as individuals just as we do today.

To be taken by a tiger while sitting in a pitch dark forest is a terrifying thought, but probably a painless swift death, dead before he knew it.
Agreed! Tigers are such masters of stealth.
