Summary: At the very centre of India lies a large area known as The Highlands. Several of India's great rivers have their origins in this elevated region. This unique book gives a wonderful wealth of information concerning the area, with admirable descriptions of the hill tribes and the forests. The author, who was Acting Conservator of Forests, Central Provinces of India, writes like a scholar, a naturalist and a sportsman. His style is lucid though literary. The book abounds in suggestive remarks on the natural peculiarities of The Highlands and furnishes the reader with a complete and vivid account of the hilly areas of India. A pleasant and light-toned work, it reveals Captain Forsyth's keen observation of the Indian wilderness. Thrilling hunting stories are interspersed with many well-told and exciting incidents of a sportsman's life in the fascinating forests of Central India.
