At the heart of No Beast So Fierce is a simple and terrifying story: In the early 20th century, a tiger killed and ate more than 400 people in Nepal and northern India before being shot by legendary hunter Jim Corbett in 1907. Rather than just describe this harrowing tale, though, author Dane Huckelbridge seeks to explain how such a prolific man-eating tiger came to be, taking readers on a fascinating journey through the natural history of a tiger and the political history of Nepal and northern India.
No Beast So Fierce Dane Huckelbridge Review
I don’t remember hearing of this 2019 book about one of the most famous tigers ever. It seems to have good reviews. Jim Corbett above wrote about his hunt for it 100 years ago and apparently there is more to say. Has anyone read it?
I tried to get it from the library but the postal strike has cut me off.
I have it on my Kindle ($1.99). I’m about halfway through…it’s a good read,but suffers from an absence of maps.
