Days and Nights of Shikar is a book written by Mrs. W.W. Baillie and published in 1921. The book is a memoir of the author's experiences hunting in India during the early 20th century. Shikar is a term used in India to refer to the pursuit of game animals, and the book chronicles the author's adventures in hunting tigers, leopards, bears, and other wildlife. The book is divided into chapters, each of which details a specific hunting trip or experience. The author provides vivid descriptions of the animals she encounters, the landscapes she travels through, and the people she meets along the way. She also includes anecdotes about the various challenges and dangers she faces while hunting, such as navigating treacherous terrain, dealing with hostile locals, and confronting dangerous animals.In addition to describing her hunting experiences, the author also offers insights into the culture and society of India during this time period. She discusses the customs and traditions of the people she encounters, as well as the political and social issues of the day.Overall, Days and Nights of Shikar is a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era of hunting and adventure in India. The book provides a unique perspective on the natural world and the people who inhabit it, and is sure to be of interest to anyone interested in hunting, wildlife, or Indian history and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
