Fierceface The Tiger

Somewhere in the forests of India | a tiger cub is born to Bagni the tigress. FierceFace is brave | intelligent | and like all tiger cubs | obedient to his mother. As FierceFace grows | he must learn to hold his own against older male tigers—even his father! He has to know how to evade the terrifying elephants | and trick the crazed boar HornTooth. He learns how to survive when drought strikes | and when wildfires rage. He stays close to his mother as they traverse so deep into the forests | they reach the realms of myth and legend. Also included in this volume is Dhan Gopal Mukherji’s celebrated story of a captive elephant | Kari the Elephant. Kari and his friend and mahout | a young boy | have adventures that take them into jungles and big cities. Kari is as loyal as he is strong—till the world of humans proves too much for him. Dhan Gopal Mukherji | widely read and celebrated in the West for many years | wrote evocatively about the wildlife and forests of India. In this volume | two of his finest animal creations | FierceFace and Kari | come together for the first time to mesmerise many new readers.
