From the jacket: E P Gee has spent half a lifetime studying and photographing animals and birds in India. He has sat in the open within ten feet of a lion, has fallen in front of a charging rhinoceros and he has a strange tale to tell of a bird mystery in Assam; but although it is full of good stories, this is not a book of daring deeds. It is a unique panorama of the wildlife resources of India---her sanctuaries, the animals which inhabit them and the men who have done most to preserve them.
