It is a shame that there is no wildlife sanctuary named after Kenneth Anderson, son of India, writer and man-eater hunter of South India. Kenneth Anderson is officially credited with 8-man-eating leopards and 7 tigers on the Government records from 1939 to 1966. But he himself accounts for much more.
Anderson wrote about his jungle adventures, the life style of the local people, in what what then the State of Madras and Mysore State. His tales are not only about tigers and leopards, but also about bears, elephants, bison, wild dogs, hyenas and snakes. Anderson also talks about the religious beliefs and the occult – of Rahukalam, kutti-shaitan and Minnispuram (Muneeswaran). He also records his experiences with Indian Medicine, with particular references to plants and herbs which cure specific diseases.
However, there is no quick reference to all his books, and what stories are contained in each of those books (except for the Wikipedia articles). So, here the the compact searchable list of Kenneth Anderson’s jungle stories.
