I've just listened to The Man Eaters Tigers of Kumaon read by a mid-Western American when the author was Anglo-Irish and oart of the British Empire. That was as unsuccessfully and tactlessly read as this book. Honestly, stop Americanising other nations stories. This needed a clipped, British accent to emulate the writing style of the author. The US was young when these events occurred and writing about man-eaters in Africa and India was peculiarly and particularly British at that time. Audible, this is a tangible FAIL. The books read far more fluidly and dramatically than these contemptibly languid efforts. Awful. I advise you to read the books and save your ears and money.

The appalling use of an American narrator with little or no feeling for the story.

No American accent can do justice to the writing.
Books written by those with clipped British accents should be read by the same for the full affect.

Poor choice of narrator
