This is a wonderful account of India's own Robin Hood, i.e. Man Singh, the terror of Chambal. He robbed the rich to help the poor and he even meted out punishment but only after hearing out both the parties which can be said to be just and impartial. This is the only non wildlife book from renowned hunter and naturalist, Kenneth Anderson. The way of telling Man Singh's tale is so captivating and worth reading not once but many times. Only a writer of Anderson's capability could have done justice to it.
