"Many books have been written about Tibet and the Tibetans, but Mr. Amundsen, so far as we know, is the first writer to give us a picture of Tibetan family and social life, and he has done this most happily, not by writing an account of his personal observations, but by telling us the life story of Trashilhamo, a Tibetan maid. [. . .] Few men are better qualified than the author to write such a story, for he has lived amongst the people and is a master of their language. First on the Indo-Tibean frontier, then on the Chinese frontier as a member of the "Tibet Mission Band" of the China Inland Mission, then at Ghoom, in connection with Scandinavian Alliance Mission Press, and later, as a representative of the British and Foreign Bible Society, with Yunnan and the Tibetans Marches as his field, he has spent sixteen years in the service of Tibet and the Tibetans. Naturally, Mr. Amundsen has written from the missionary standpoint, and his story is a pathetic plea for a people who, alas! are less accessible to the messenger of the Cross than almost any other people in the world." - pages vii-viii from the Introduction by G. H. Bondfield, British and Foreign Bible Society, Shanghai. "Most of the Illustrations in this book are from photographs taken by Dr. A. L.
