Description: NINE MAN-EATERS AND ONE ROGUE KENNETH ANDERSON TIDELINE BOOKS 1986 First published 1954 THE tiger or the leopard that takes to killing and devouring men is not a normal beast, but one that from injury or handicap—or, more rarely, sheer depravity—has been driven to discover that man is the most helpless animal of all and the easiest to destroy. Then it becomes the terror of the Indian village, picking up the solitary man or woman going about their daily business, and dragging them off into the undergrowth to devour. Terrorised, resigned and unarmed, the villagers are helpless against its cunning and audacity. Fascinated by the jungle and its inhabitants, Kenneth Anderson found adventure and exhilaration in tracking down and killing these marauding beasts. A call for help and he was off into the jungle, very often alone. Aided by his deep knowledge of the jungle creatures and his uncanny skill in understanding the minds of the tigers, he began a pursuit which might end in a few hours or might last for weeks or months. With simple, direct realism the author has caught the atmosphere of the jungle and the intense excitement of a man pitting his life against a beast's. He vividly communicates the hunters' constant knowledge that a moment's carelessness may end in this own death.
