This is the story of a year spent in a remote village high in the Himalayas. In a series of anecdotes, Ted Reynolds describes: his delight in the children he teaches, but also his dismay at their harsh treatment by the village discipline master; the colourful local characters, such as the false rimpoche and the boy monk; the steady influx of quirky foreign visitors; and the beauty of the landscape. When Ted Reynolds volunteered his services as an unpaid worker at a Tibetan refugee camp in Ladakh, the response from the monk in charge was, "Come, and bring something to break stones."
