Kenneth Anderson

Anderson, more famous for hunting maneating tigers, finds in a wily panther a real challenger to his hunting acumen. There are thrills, failures, disappointments and at long last, the elusive success. He tells the real - life adventure story set in the deep jungle, with snakes, bisons and of course tigers, with unique verve and color which only he is capable off.

Anderson's love-hate relationship with panthers and tigers who terrorised the villagers and were eventually hunted down by the author in hair-raising encounters is legendary. In this book the jungle scenario is crowded with a hyena, a jackal, a bear, a barking deer and a few snakes which the hunter-writer tamed and kept as pets around him.

Hailed as the best of all Anderson's books, The Tiger Roars reminds one of the man-eating tigers he had tracked down, ferocious panthers fond of human blood, the ageing elephant meeting a sad end, and his own adventurous hours spent in the primeval jungles of India.
