520			_aHere, reprinted and revised, is a vivid, strange and entertaining book which might stand on any shelf next to, and as a complement to, Kipling's Jungle Book. This is not an India of the Taj Mahal or the back streets of Calcutta; Mr. Elwin lived among the Gond people with their medicine men, blacksmiths, minstrels, as well as their lepers, and writes with a detailed authority and charm well known to the reader of his works. The book is amply illustrated by the author's own photographs.
