Rigby put out a limited edition boxed set of 5 Corbett books. They are individually numbered. I have been looking for one ever since I found out they existed. I still haven't found one.

It’s great to see Jim’s house restored. I was In Kaladhungi some 27 years ago. My wife wanted to go to India for her birthday. She had done VSO in Tamil Nadu in her salad days. Having had a disastrous trip to Egypt the year before, think “Revenge of the Pharos “ I was reluctant. Delhi Belly !
So if we went I plumped for Delhi, the Red Fort and then Agra to see the Taj Mahal and then a pilgrimage to Kaladhungi, Nani Tal and the Corbett Tiger Park. After that we travelled into western Nepal and on to Kathmandu.
Sadly when we were there the house in Kaladhungi was rather dilapidated. Their summer house near the lake in Nani Tal was in good shape and occupied.

Thanks for sharing. Yes, India is certainly an interesting place, and a lot has changed over the years. I’m originally from India myself, but I’ve been in the US for about 30 years now. Even for me, India feels quite different from the country I remember leaving.
