JUNGLES LONG AGO

Mehr zum Buch

Taking a holiday from big game hunting, Anderson lovingly reminisces about his exciting days and star-lit nights spent amidst the simple folks inhabiting the fringes of dark forests. There are Byra the Poojari, who taught him jungle lore, Ranga the shikari, happy with his gun and game, Mumptyvayan the bandit, betrayed and murdered by a woman, and many others. An altogether new Anderson with human compassion to match his hunting passion. Kenneth Anderson (1910-74) hailed from a Scottish family settled in India for six generations. His love for the denizens of Indian jungle led him to big game hunting and eventually to writing real-life adventure stories. His books are hailed as classics of jungle lore.
