'Part of the power of Corbett's writing lies in the...maddening faithfulness with which he recalls and recreates the smallest details of his hunts...The result is the kind of suspense that a professional writer...could not easily create.' - Geoffrey C. Ward & Diane Raines Ward in Tiger-wallahs
'The Rudraprayag leopard is but one of the scores of animals Corbett shot...What emerges with this image of action is...a man who valued, perhaps more than anything else, patience, courage and a spartan hardiness.' - The Independent
'Corbett continued to pursue the man-eating leopard...that had terrorised the region for years...despite numerous close-misses. As with the best of stories, this one ends happily...Corbett was an exceptionally good writer, clear and lucid...[His] tales were extraordinary.' - The Hindu
