Hello,
I endaed up writing rather lengthy reviews of Mr Anderson on the other volumes in this series. They're great books on par with Jim Corbett's. I have no higher praise for any writing beyond that! I've enjoyed them all immensely and only wish there were more. As in the other reviews I'll mention it here as well. I'm extremely annoyed that someone, obviously very thin in their Anderson reading, had posted negative comments about one of this series. They claimed he was somewhat indifferent to wildlife conservation and hinted at him lacking good sportsmanship. That is absolutely without a particle of merit! In fact he's the opposite. In the extremes even...
Great reading for sure, and if you had enough interest to get here, I'm confident you'll enjoy them. Then, you too will find it satisfying and necessary to defend him as I have. Enjoy the books. They're full of adventure, despair and fear as any true accounts of man-eater hunting would have to be.

Most Sincerely,

Wonderful reading.
Classic Anderson. I liked the previous version of the Omnibus better though, that had 3 books combined. This one has 2.
Really ejoyed it, have read all of Corbett's and this is a strong second. Takes place in southern India and a few years later than Corbett.
Bought this book for my husband for Father's Day, along with Omnibus Vol 1. He loves Jim Corbett, and was sure he wouldn't find another author on the subject of tiger hunting in India he would enjoy reading as much. Wrong - he likes Kenneth Anderson even better. SCORE!
I had never heard of Anderson and I discovered him by chance, thanks to . He deserves to be better known and read.

His tales of hunting man-eater tigers and panthers in India are extremely interesting. Besides "sitting over a kill" in a camouflaged tree platform (a "machan") we often find him pursuing the tiger at ground level, in the dark. His encounters with charging elephants which he scares away shooting over their head are just side shows.

He hunted about one generation after Corbett, so he uses cars, flashlights, etc, but the jungle lore, the skill, and the raw courage are the same. As a writer, Corbett has a slight edge. But if you liked Corbett, you will definitely NOT be disappointed by Anderson. And Anderson does not have Corbett's annoying habit of getting in danger because he took too little ammo in his pocket.
The authors writing style and subject choices are comparable to Jim Corbett. The difference is that this author has one or 2 references to wolves. I don't think that Jim Corbett ever mentions wolves. Kippling's books talks about the "Dole" wolves and their viscious pack behavior. One of the stories related by Anderson includes the fact that these packs of wolves will relentlesly chase and kill healthy adult tigers.

Otherwise the books by Anderson and Corbett are nearly interchangable and if you close your eyes and have the stories read to you they are almost indistinguishable. However, if like myself, you are STARVING for stories of India and Man Eating Tigers and Leopards then these books are a welcome treat.

For those of us that have had the pleasure of living in India the stories ring with charming truth about the local people and customs.

One interesting fact is that Anderson used a LEVER ACTION WINCHESTER Model 1895 .405 rifle. This is the same rifle used by Theadore Rousevelt for his African big game hunts and he called it "BIG Medicine" for use against African Lions. I know of no other big game authors who used a Lever Action rifle and most used German or British made Double rifles or bolt action rifles. Only Americans manufacture lever action rifles. Many professional hunters from Africa consider the .405 to be inadequate against lions and leopards. Jim Corbett often used the smaller and more inadequate .275 against tigers.
This is the 3rd. book in his series that I've read. As long as you realize that this guy is NOT a Jim Corbett; I say that because this is, in essence, story telling (fiction). Corbett's writings reflecte the real deal, in that he did, in fact, hunt and kill maneaters in India, on foot, one on one, for which they dedicated a conservation park in his honor. This Anderson volume 2 is about 600 pages long, so it will keep you entertained for many hours. A good read.
