Description
TIBETAN
TALES
Geoffrey T. Bull
The many readers of Geoffrey Bull’s
earlier books will welcome these stories
and sketches from the author’s life on the
Tibetan border during the turbulent
period immediately preceding the
Chinese Communist invasion. He
describes his hazardous mountain
journeys with a lively sense of
predicament and frequenttouches of
humour. He writes engagingly of wily
lamas and fierce mountain tribesmen; of
encounters with stubborn yaks and
spirited Tibetan stallions; of scenes of
breath-taking beauty and unspeakable
squalor; of people of all classes and
conditions, lovable, proud and inde-
pendent. but lost in a darkness of
ignorance and sin. Above all. here is a
missionary at work with his companions,
buying up opportunities to serve men for
Christ’s sake, whether in the open hills, a
nomad’s tent or a Buddhist shrine.
