"From <strong>the</strong> perspectives of a small child <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> youth, <strong>the</strong> narrator<br />

relates experiences from his formative years in a community in<br />

eastern Tibet. The book unfolds in a series of vivid, delicately<br />

crafted anecdotes that are informed by a keen knowledge of<br />

local customs <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> folklore." Mark Bender, Ohio State<br />

University<br />

"This young Ngawa <strong>Tibetan</strong>'s remarkable, revealing life stories,<br />

related in an entertaining fashi<strong>on</strong>, provide a wealth of<br />

informati<strong>on</strong> about true <strong>Tibetan</strong> childhood that transported me<br />

back to my own childhood in a powerful, poignant way."<br />

Haudan Zhaxi, Humbolt University, Berlin<br />

"K<strong>on</strong>dro Tsering's book is a brutally h<strong>on</strong>est, first-pers<strong>on</strong> tale of<br />

growing up in an agricultural family in nor<strong>the</strong>astern Tibet. This<br />

insider's view will upset myths about <strong>the</strong> daily lives of <strong>Tibetan</strong>s,<br />

while <strong>the</strong> narrator's passi<strong>on</strong> for family, fun <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g>, most of all,<br />

stories, creates insight <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> excitement for <strong>the</strong> reader."<br />

Keith Dede, Lewis & Clark<br />
