    My biggest takeaway from Jim Corbett stories is to never give up no matter what. This man was relentless in his pursuit. We live in different times but there's so much that still applies. Great work on the audio, mate!

      Corbet was only mopping up the mess made by Europeans. At a time when the people of India were not allowed to have proper weapons to protect themselves. Don't forget, they had been living with tigers for a thousand years without needing Europeans for anything.

    YES! This is, in my opinion Jim Corbett at his very best. It's a perfect microcosm of that line, walked so perfectly and elegantly, between a description of place and time, whilst simultaneously telling a startling, tense and quite blood-curdling adventure story. The hard part for me, is reminding myslef that this all really happened. A man absolutely part of the fabric of India, both in terms of its people, its landscape and its wildlife. Remarkable. And of course, a masterful performance Mr Singh, as ever; thank you. B

    Incredible real story, flawlessly narrated. Even if a modern man tries to appreciate the risk, hardship, goodwill, skill, stamina and courage of Jim Corbett its not possible to even realize 1% of it. Just try walking in a dark night near a wooded area, and then think if there was a man-eater watching you, you will run like no tomorrow. Jim corbett's stories are best inspirations for the humanity.

    The man-eaters from Kumaon is amid my favourite books. I've read it many times. Perhaps it's the book I have read the most times. It started before 40 years while adolescent and continue now but in English. I'd say that this is one of the books of my life.

    His life and hunts were so extraordinary that they sound like myth or fiction.
    If it weren't for the thousands of witnesses to his deeds, after several decades, they would be dimissed as hyperbole. What a man and what a time in history.
    He is like Daniel Boone to Americans. A life so extraordinary it's always questioned until documents are produced to back it all up.
