Tigers for Dinner: Tall Tales by Jim Corbett’s Khansama is a wildly entertaining and humorous collection of stories told through the eyes of Mehmud, the loyal and endlessly dramatic khansama (cook) of legendary hunter and naturalist Jim Corbett. Written by Ruskin Bond with a playful tone and a wink to exaggeration, this book is perfect for both children and adults who enjoy tales filled with action, wit, and a bit of mischief.
In these tall tales, Mehmud recounts his “adventures” with wild animals—particularly tigers—and how he bravely battled (or barely escaped) them. His stories are filled with suspense and absurdity, making you wonder what’s true and what’s just spicy imagination. Each chapter is a new escapade, whether he’s wrestling crocodiles, running from man-eaters, or outsmarting jungle beasts—all while somehow keeping his chef’s dignity intact.
Bond’s narrative style brings Mehmud’s character alive with warmth and humor. Though larger-than-life, Mehmud represents the spirit of old-school storytelling—the kind passed around dinner tables, full of exaggerations, heart, and laughter. Bond also cleverly weaves in real elements of Indian wildlife, history, and colonial life, giving the stories a textured, vibrant backdrop.
This book isn’t just about tigers—it’s about storytelling itself. It’s about the joy of imagination, the magic of narration, and the characters who become unforgettable.
