The Second Jim Corbett omnibus collects three books by Jim Corbett about his life as a hunter and conservationist in the jungles of India and Africa. Summary of the Books My India Corbett writes about the country which won his heart and gave him his reputation as a big game hunter: the land of India. He writes about his feelings, his concern for the people and his thoughts on the natural wealth and variety of the culture. This book showcases Corbett’s affection for India and its people. Jungle Lore In this book, Corbett comes the closest he ever has to give readers an autobiography. He writes about his fascination for the jungle, his ideas on the fragile nature of wildlife and the need for conservation. He writes of his affection for Indian natives, the jungles, the Kumaon hills of the Himalayan foothills and his thoughts on the melancholy way in which mankind has forsaken its environment. Tree Tops In his last memoir, Corbett returns readers for one ultimate hunt in the jungles he loves. He writes about his time in the Kenyan game reserves, and he describes the beauty of the wildlife with great verbosity. He gives readers a heartfelt account of his experiences and his observations at the reserve.
