THE BLACK PANTHER OF SIVANIPALLI: AND OTHER ADVENTURES OF THE INDIAN JUNGLE. By Kenneth Anderson.
(1959) 1961 US edition. 8vo (142mm x 222mm). Pp247. B/w photographs, maps. Light tan cloth, spine titled in black.
"...In this book the concentration is upon panthers rather than tigers, a very different animal in his habits and quite different to deal with. But there are tigers as well, snakes and a great bull bison that survived a titanic battle with a tiger. These are no mere hunter's stories: thrills there are, but difficulties too, failures and disappointments. But the author, who has spent a lifetime in trying to understand the minds of jungle creatures, takes us into his confidence and explains the methods by which he has been able to rid the remoter [areas] of India of some of their most terrible enemies. In doing so he builds up a vivid picture of the forest scene, which no reader is likely to forget."
