The Tiger Roars In this, one of his most popular books, Anderson reminiscences, among other things, about a panther with a vendetta, a young tiger that tried to claw its way into his tent even as he slept, and another tiger that dragged its sleeping victim from his hut in the middle of the night.

Featured, among others, are Byra, the poojari who taught him jungle lore, and Ranga, the shikari who is happy with his gun and game.
