Publisher's Synopsis
Valmik Thapar first went to Ranthambhore in 1976, at the age of twenty-three. He was a city boy, unsure of what law ahead. When he entered the forest, which would go on to become one of the last strongholds of wild tigers, it had a profound effect on him, changing his life forever. For the next forty years, he studied nearly 200 Ranthambhore tigers, spending every waking moment in close proximity to these magnificent animals. Here, he writes for the first time about the secret lives of the most memorable tigers.
