| Publisher Description: Originally published in 1903. A fascinating record of some of the more memorable highlights from the author's life in India. The illustrated contents contain many anecdotes on big game hunting, pig sticking - sporting dogs, Indian customs and life and early days at Malvern College. Included are: Starting a Bobbery Pack - The Deal Table Hunt - Five Panthers in Five Shots - The Defence of Mangalore - Stocking a Stable - Jotting of a Jungle-Wallah - School Songs - Malvern College etc. Many of the earliest books on India, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork. |
