Kenneth Anderson, a contemporary of Jim Corbett, lived in Bangalore and wrote books on shooting man-eating tigers and panthers in south India. Donald, his son is arguably the last of the hunters of the British Raj and this is his story. The book poignantly captures the changing landscape around him, both in the jungles of south India, as well as in urban Bangalore. A faithful rendering of the life of a shikari, it is part adventure story, part social history and a nostalgic narrative of an often forgotten, bygone era.
