Leopards are the most beautiful, enigmatic and sometimes the most dangerous of the big cats. Christopher Ondaatje has compiled a rich collection of stories about this magnificent animals-exciting, mysterious, entertaining and often drawn from his own experiences as an outstanding explorer and scholar in places as varied as Uganda, Sri Lanka and even Exmoor in England.

DR JOHN HEMMING, Historian, Explorer, former Director of The Royal Geographical Society, and author, Die If You Must

Strange, exotic,totally enthralling, and not just (big) cat lovers. Surely this is the only anthology of leopard stories ever produced… an absolute triumph!

HER ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCESS MICHAEL OF KENT, author, The Serpent and the Moon

I enjoyed this unusual book, despite the grisly interludes, because I too share a fascination for wild cats and love of good storytelling-not to mention the dramatic photographs… Wildlife enthusiasts and hesitant explorers alike will find this an intriguing read. What an adventure, and what an experience!

DR RITA GARDNER, CBE, Director, Royal Geographical Society (with I.B.G.)
