Book description
Some people talk about nature, others listen to it. Listening can
reveal wondes like how to befriend an elephant, how to talk to a tiger
and how to live in the jungle. Many such amazing experiences crowd this
volume containing the unpublished writings from the early and last years
of the well-known naturalist, the late E. R.C. Davidar, besides his
acclaimed book Cheetal Walk. a lawyer by profession and a
shikari-turned-photographer, he established maybe the first ever private
elephant corridor in India, near his jungle-cottage, and undertook the
first census of the Nilgiri tahr along the entire range. Charmingly
told, funny and brimming with insights, the book, enriched with
photographs from the family album, not only enlightens us about wildlife
and conservation in the Nilgiris but becomes a memoir of a jungle lover
and his family.
