Most of Jim Corbett's books contain collections of stories that recount adventures tracking and shooting man-eaters in the Indian Himalayas. This volume, however, consists of a single story, often considered the most exciting of all Corbett's jungle tales. He gives a carefully detailed account of a notorious leopard that terrorized life in the hills of the colonial United Provinces. This story represents Corbett's most sustained and unique effort.

A Great Book but with a really bad Narrator. Story is Amazing and keeps you glued, but this narrator didnt do justice to the book. He eats up the first letter of most words and sounds really Lousy.

Amazing Story with Very Bad Narration

In 1918-1926, there lurked a danger in Garhwal area of Radraprauag, Kedarnath, a famous place of pilgrimage in India. A man eater leopard became a man eater and took many people from surrounding villages. The tale is a narration of experience to hunt it down after many near misses by none other than Jim Corbett, a veteran, and I enjoyed it. I felt for author as well as leopard too, though :) I confess, I got this book on audible, so I ended up listening to it rather than reading it, which I would have preferred more. The narration was simple though and I had no problem giving an interested ear to the book. This was my first experience too, 'listening' to a full book and I am glad I selected this title. The author however was superb and his description of experiences is one of a kind. 4 stars.

The Man-Eating Leopard of Rudraprayag is a must-read for anyone who appreciates the beauty and complexity of the natural world and the fascinating stories that lie within it. Jim Corbett’s has a way as a writer the simplicity of the language, the description of the terrain and also like a diary of hunter, and conservationist the story tell about the most infamous man-eating predators in history who was getting smarter at hunting humans and held a reign of terror for over 7-8 years responsible for the deaths of recorded of over 125 people and many more not recorded with its attacks spanning several years, from 1918 to 1926. It terrorized the region of Rudraprayag and this is so engagingly written. Enjoy reading.
