‘EHA, while being as knowledgeable as any naturalist, will make you smile or chuckle or laugh out loud. This was what made his books so entertaining, and so readable today, a hundred years after they first appeared.’—Ruskin Bond
‘A parrot never forgets its dignity, and is in that unlike the monkey, which has no dignity to forget’—EHA
Ruskin Bond reintroduces one of his favourite authors to readers in this beautiful new edition. One of the most popular naturalist-writers of his time, EHA (1851–1909) was one of the founding members of the Bombay Natural History Society. The Tribes on My Frontier is the author’s witty and entertaining take on the ‘tribes’ on his frontier—the birds, beasts and insects that inhabited the general vicinity of his house in ‘Dustypore’.
