Drawing on dramatic accounts by European colonials, and on detailed studies by folklorists and anthropologists, this work explores intriguing age-old Asian beliefs and claims that man-eating tigers and ‘little tigers’, or leopards alike, were in various ways supernatural. It is a serious work based on extensive research, written in a lively style.
