A composition compressed in a book for readers who like slow, descriptive reading. This tale of fiction, based on happenings moulded to make interesting reading, took place around the 1970s, a couple of years since Tiger Hunting was banned and pronounced illegal by the Indian authorities. A renowned Hunter in his time, Shikari Joe, together with his hunting buddies - Barney, Victor and Jess implored by tribal villagers to hunt down a tiger who was becoming a menace and dangerous threat to their village in the Londa jungles of India. This hunt done they return to their hometown only to find the Mysore Maharaja´s cousin waiting to take them to Mysore as the distinguished guests to the Maharaja´s palace where a batch of four youth anxiously awaited. These four "guests" were eager to be taken on a tiger hunt, wanting to witness live the thrills and chills of encountering a man-eating tiger in the jungles of Mysore. Moreover one of the four had a jungle phobia which she intended to overcome and hence took the plunge. Joe was called upon by the Maharaja of Mysore frequently to accompany him to tiger hunts; from back in the day when tiger hunting was legal and permitted.
