The Last Tiger brings together\n Ruskin Bond’s very best published animal stories as well as a brand new work,\n ‘The Call of the\n Leopard’, which has never been published before.  \n The title story introduces a wise and crafty tiger who survives every\n attempt on his life. ‘Those Three Bears’, ‘The Eyes of the Eagle’,\n and ‘Tigers for Dinner’ describe dangerous encounters in the wild. ‘Guests\n Who Come in from the Forest’, ‘Panther’s Moon’,\n ‘The Leopard’, and ‘Song of the Forest’ bring the wildlife of the Himalayas\n to vivid, memorable life. Other tales in the book tell of\n thrilling beetle races, the schemes of a ball-chewing crocodile, and\n monkeys who dance on roofs. We also meet a series of eccentric\n pets in this book—a friendly baby elephant, a sullen cassowary, owls who\n grow fond of spaghetti, the mischievous yet sensitive\n monkey, Toto, a narcissistic python who loves his own reflection, and\n others.  \n The beasts that stalk the pages of The Last Tiger will thrill, delight,\n terrify, and entertain Bond’s legions of fans, and all those with\n an interest in the world of nature.
