Publisher's Synopsis
The late S'alim Ali was one of the great ornithologists of the world. This is his autobiography. With wit and elegance he observes his own life and the changing world in which he lived. His close associations with many eminent people - including Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Sarojini Naidu, Sidney Dillon Ripley, and E.P. Gee - feature prominently. This is a very readable book - for the birdwatcher, the shikari, the ecologist, the nature enthusiast, and the general reader.
