From his online bio: "Kenneth Anderson (1910-1974) was an Indian writer and hunter who wrote many books (this was his last one) about his adventures in the jungles of South India. His love for the inhabitants of the Indian jungle led him to big game hunting and eventually to writing real-life adventure stories. He would often go into the jungle alone and unarmed to meditate and enjoy the beauty of untouched nature. As a professional hunter, he searched out man-eating big game to eliminate the threat they posed to villages. Some of his most notable kills include the Sloth bear of Mysore, the Leopard of Gummalapur, the Leopard of the Yellagiri Hills, the Tigress of Jowlagiri, the Tiger of Segur and the Tiger of Mundachipallam. He is officially recorded as having shot 8 man-eating leopards (7 males and 1 female) and 7 tigers (5 males and 2 females) on the Government records from 1939 to 1966 though he is rumored to have unofficially shot over 18-20 man eating panthers and over 15-20 man eating tigers. He also shot a few rogue elephants. Unlike Jim Corbett who hunted in North India- from the Foothills of the Himalayas, The Sivaliks, Garhwal, Kumaon to Northern MP- Anderson hunted in South India- Tamilnadu, Karnataka and Andhrapradesh (then Madras Presidency, Mysore State and Hyderabad Principality)."
