"Man-eaters and Jungle Killers" and "Nine man-eaters and one Rouge" I wonder what they will be like? I hope they are good.

I have only read "Nine man killers + a Rouge"
I still own the ist ed. H.C. Although I never met the man I will say that in my opinion as well as the stories are told (+they are) that he intrudes too heavily on Corbett's thunder.Don't get me wrong;it is damned good reading; I'm just not sure if I believe him as I do Corbett.I did really appreciate the story of the bee cave incident.And as I say,it is damned good reading.

I got all his books and like 'tales from indian jungles" the most.

Thanks huntergill I believe I ordered that too.
I started reading his first book and read the part of the first maneater leopard while on the beach in Cuba yesterday.It was when he met his dog companion while staking out for the leopard.His book reminds me alot of Corbett´s.I don´t know if his stories are true or not but so far they seem fun to read.

I liked the Hosdurga-Holalkere Man-Eater chapter.I found the ending a little cheap in that story however the part about one of the young white hunters getting wasted was something I did not expect.

Only 5 or so pages left.It was a very good book.I enjoyed reading it.I can't wait to get started on his second one.In the meantime I will start reading Boddington's Mt Kenya book.

I read the first chapter of Man-Eaters and Jungle Killers-The Marauder Of Kempekarai.It is an exciting chapter.Excellent introduction BTW.
A quote from the chapter.
"Then in a flash I realized what it was.The tiger was crawling towards me on his belly,silently,in quick,short motion,till he judged he was within range to make his final murderous assault"

Excellent second chapter."The Crossed-Tusker Of Gerhetti" Really good stuff and cost peanuts!! The shooting of the crossed tusker was well described.Anderson used a Jeffries 450/400 for this.I will not go into details as I don't want to spoil it for anyone-but it was very exciting and sad at the same time.

I just finished reading "Man-Eaters and Jungle Killers" I enjoyed reading it.

I have always enjoyed Kenneth Anderson's books and it seems you too are finding them a good read. The post I made below contains a link to an interesting video about Kenneth's son Donald Anderson.
Nakihunter who posts on this forum has said that it is his brother who Donald is talking with at the start of the video when the tiger is calling.

I watched the video and saw the picture of the charging leopard.The leopard in the picture does not look real.It looks a little too stiff like a mounted leopard.

Keep in mind the cameras of that era did not take the lifelike photos we are used to now.

Just so we can put this item at rest.He did some exellant hunts,+ wrote great stories,just like Corbett. Also like Corbett or Papa,we only have their word for what happened.I will give the devil his dues + write up everything as good literature.

I have "The Tiger Roars", "Man-Eaters and Jungle Killers" and "The Black Panther of Sivanpalli".

They are all great reads, the Black Panther being my first Anderson book which I have had for decades and read countless times. I remember first reading Kenneth Anderson in high school which had a one of his books in the library.

I have all of Jim Corbett's books and would dearly like to get the other five Anderson books.
