A tracker-turned-conservationist, Jim Corbett was a renowned writer and wildlife expert. Born on 25 July 1875, he was appointed a Colonel in the British Indian Army and was often requested by the government of the United Province (modern-day Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand) to hunt man-eaters and leopards that spread terror in the Garhwal and Kumaon region. An avid photographer, Corbett's books, particularly Man-Eaters of Kumar and Jungle Lore, achieved international critical acclaim and earned global recognition.

“I had spent many nights in the jungle looking for game, but this was the first time I had ever spent a night looking for a man-eater.” Man-eaters of Kumon contains ten first-hand accounts of Jim Corbett's jungle encounters. Describing his thrilling campaigns against the Champawat man-eater—whose attacks have been listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the highest number of fatalities from a tiger, and the Chowgarh tiger—who had preyed on sixty-four people, these stories among others have never ceased to enthral the listeners.
