The nights are drawing in sooner, the temperature has dropped, and 'going out' must now stumble over the obstacle of 'staying in' which has a cache of weapons including: blankets, slipper socks, cups of tea, and re runs of all the E4 classics. So it is no wonder going out is losing miserably. If you fancy a bit of an adventure in the confines of your own home, why not buy The Tiger by John Vaillant. This non-fictional masterpiece follows the relationship between a man-eating Amur tiger and the inhabitants of a village in Primorye, Russia. But this isn't a man-eating tiger in the usual predatory sense, this is a vengeful man-eating tiger with shockingly human emotion, a lithe muscular frame, an unnerving perseverance, topped off with a picturesque backdrop. The story in itself is riveting, but combined with Vaillant's writing style it is an awe-inspiring account. Available online for as little as £1.46 it is a must have this Christmas.
