Jamyang Norbu has taken the stories of 'forgotten' Tibetansresistance fighters, secret agents, soldiers, peasants, merchants, even street beggarsand skillfully worked their myriad accounts into a single glorious 'memory history' of the Tibetan struggle. He uses recollections from his own childhood to ease the reader into an immersive understanding of the complexity of Tibet's modern history: the Chinese invasion, the uprisings in Kham and Amdo, the formation of the Four Rivers Six Ranges Resistance Force, the March '59 Lhasa Uprising, the CIA supported Air Operations, the Nyemo peasant Uprising of 68/69 and the Mustang Guerilla Force in northern Nepal, where Norbu later served. He writes of leaving home to drive tractors at refugee settlements, educate refugee children, produce plays at the Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts, and collect intelligence for the Tibetan Office of Research and Analysis (TORA) and for France's External Intelligence Agency (SDECE). He uses these anecdotes not so much as autobiography but as a framing device to recount the lives, deeds and, too often, tragedies of the many Tibetans he encountered and befriended throughout his lifenearly all of whom played vital roles in shaping the recent history of their country but whose contributions are still unsung and forgotten. Jamyang Norbu's lifelong commitment to collecting and orchestrating the 'echoes' of these many forgotten voices from the past has resulted in a lyrical, learned and compassionate book that could well be described as the prose epic of the Tibetan freedom struggle.

Excerpt from Echoes A strange story, say those who hear it, and verily they speak the truth: for the verity of the tale I cannot vouch, because, as with most legends, one finds it difficult to tell where fact and fancy blend, Where the actual occurrence and the romance which time and distance have woven about it become one. Listen then to the story which is told concern ing this lad, David of Bethlehem, and whether or no you believe the tale to be true, remember, that the One Whose birth he declared taught that it is to the poor and simple of the earth, that God reveals His deepest mysteries. It was the month, Chisleu, and the cool night Winds blew down the valley and across the fields which lay but a short distance from the little town of Bethlehem: the wind brought with it the cold breath of snow from the mountains, and a company of shepherds who, with their flocks, were passing the night in this valley-like field, drew closer to the pleasant warmth of their camp-fire, as the shadows settled lower and the last light which had been reflected from the mountains of Moab, faded and was lost in the darkness of the night. It was very still in the valley: once the hush was broken by shouts from the road, leading to Beth lehem: the shepherds had eaten their simple evening meal, and now sat talking, while their faithful dogs lay at their feet and, nearby in the cot or fold, the white sheep slept secure. The town is full of pilgrims, a shepherd said, as the shouts of the wayfarers upon the highway, were borne to them. I was there this morning, and the Inn was already crowded and there were many more travellers upon the road; 'tis a fair home, is Bethlehem and many return to her, with love in their hearts.

Excerpt from The Echoes of the Lakes and Mountains: Or Wonderful Things in the Lake District (Being a Companion to the Guides) All the Counties of England are rich in interesting and romantic incidents, but none so rich, rare, and varied as those of Cumberland and Westmorland. The "Wonderful Things" unfolded in this little volume will amply bear out the assertion. The only merit we claim is for the labour of our research, and the bringing to light marvels that have existed but have been hidden by the lapse of time. As Kingsley says on the value of Books: - "There is nothing more wonderful than a book! - a message to us from the dead - from human souls whom we never saw, yet who lived; and yet these, in the little sheets of paper, speak to us, amuse us, terrify us, teach us, and comfort us." We hope this description of a book may be applied to the one we now commend to the readers' attention. Time has consecrated and age made gray the numerous collection of the rare gleanings of our volume, and if the interest inspire the reader as much as the gleaner of them, he will not be content with the perusal of our collection, but enlarge his acquaintance by a visit to the spots, places, and antiquities, that have so much fascinated us.
