I am sorry, but his name was Edward James Corbett. However, he liked to be called Jim (Jim) Corbett.

Good to hear from you Slim. Why not join the Jim Corbett Foundation and extend your support.

A long night

He suggested I read Man-eater's of Kumaon one night whilst I was staying....I was at once transported into a dark mysterious world amid the foothills of the Himalayas...and there I remain! (well part of me) After my grandfather's passing I vowed to collect the first editions of all Jim's books in an effort to get nearer to the man!, but even this hasn't slaked my thirst. Will the obsession ever end..I hope not.
PS. Jerry you deserve a great deal of thanks for tending to the grave of this legendary yet under-appreciated man.
By the way, sorry to be pedantic but is it not 'Edward James Corbett' rather than 'James Edward'. I hope so, because my son's named after him!
