In the Tiger Jungle: And Other Stories of Missionary Work Among the Telugus of India (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from In the Tiger Jungle: And Other Stories of Missionary Work Among the Telugus of India

I have long held the opinion, and often expressed it, that the young people of our land need not patronize the dime novel or the "penny dreadful" to find stirring adventure and thrilling narrative.

There is one source which furnishes stories of intense and dramatic interest, abounding in novel situations and spiced with abundant adventure; and this source is at the same time the purest and most invigorating fountain at which our youth can drink.

To change the figure, this is a mine hitherto largely unworked; it contains rich nuggets of ore, which will well repay the prospector in this new field.

I know of no one better fitted to delve in this mine and bring this rich ore to the surface than the author of this book.
