JUNGLE JOHN: A BOOK OF THE BIG-GAME JUNGLES. By John Budden.

(1927) 1957 reprint. 8vo (140 x 200mm). Ppxiv,304. B/w illustrations by Major-General H.J.P. Browne. Black cloth, brown tiger motif to upper board, spine titled in green.

"John is the son of a Forest Officer in India, and this book contains the stories of his adventures in the jungle with his father and old Damroo, and Moti, the little girl. Here is much of hunting and jungle-lore and the ways of the beasts that inhabit the Indian wild, written by one knowledgeable enthusiast and set in drawings by another". First published in 1927, with great success, this is a reprint of the 1954 "new impression by photolithography", containing all the original illustrations". It would be hard to find any book which is more likely to be certain of a welcome by a boy than Jungle John by John Budden. Of course, young John has all sorts of adventures of just the right kind to make appeal to young readers, but at the same time there is an undercurrent of most useful, interesting and practical natural history running through the book".
