Looks at a variety of animals that live in the jungle, including insects, mammals, and reptiles.

Jim Corbett is famous for his exploits as a hunter, but there was so much more to the man than tracking down man-eating tigers and leopards. In fact, ‘Carpet Sahib’ (as many Indians called him) was a conservationist at heart, with a deep love for jungles – its flora and fauna; and its inhabitants – the birds and the animals, and the people – who lived in the lush Kumaon hills. It is this side of Corbett that comes to the fore in Jungle Lore. Almost autobiographical in nature, Jungle Lore sees Corbett talk of his boyhood, the people he met, lessons he learnt in absorbing the jungle, his concern for the jungles and environment, and of course, there are doses of hunting expeditions too. There is even the odd story of detection and of supernatural sightings. Jungle Lore is the first book anyone should read on Jim Corbett. Simply because it is about Jim Corbett the man who went on to become a famous hunter.

The world has ended and only Jim is to blame... And possibly God. It wasn't long ago that Jim was dreaming of a perfect world; a world of peace and plenty, a place where people don't hurt or bother one another but instead try to understand each other, though when Jim dreamt of such a place, it had not sounded like a curse. Jungle Jim is the story of a post-modern world that almost worked but failed during a growing pain and the man who witnessed it all happen, just as the ancient prophecies and calendars foretold. Follow Jim's epic saga from a fiery airplane in the sky, to a cold clammy hole in the jungle; from a hole in the jungle, to "the real world," a brand new utopia full of colorful animals, and friendly dinosaurs. Trace Jim's steps back from one side of "the hole" to the other and back again, to find a bloated and gassy old man in a bunker who is not sure whether to blame God or himself for the worlds he has seen destroyed, and finally, ask the daunting questions that Jim thought he had already answered during his life of pseudo-slavery as a disgruntled and under-appreciated grocer that inevitably sent him on his folly. "What is perfection?" and "What is happiness? And most importantly "What is the purpose of all of this?"

These are the most fabulous, provocative creatures in the world of fiction, from H.

They're all here, the Jungle Goddesses, Queens and Slaves as well as their sisters in that happy madness of exotic femme fatales, Tropic Tramps, Dragon Ladies, Harem Damsels and semi-clad Barbarians. It's not a history, but a celebration of that impossible, loony, glorious nonsense that Silke somehow finds essential.
