"Gorgeously illustrated in a large-format album with two gatefolds and a stunning foldout of a jungle at war, The Tiger Who Would Be King is as entertaining as it is wise, as wry as it is passionate. Yoon's humorous images support this beautifully written text with wit and insight, playing up the comic elements, while showing the pathos as well."--Provided by the publisher.
