Along an ancient road nine thousand feet up, where the track runs from India into Tibet, unfolds a garland of mystical tales of the East, of China, Burma, and the shimmering glory of Kwannon.

L. Adams Beck's 1922 collection gathers atmospheric tales of Oriental mysticism and the occult. Lush, spiritual, beautifully told. Read it for exquisite fantasies steeped in Eastern religion and philosophy, reincarnation, enlightenment, and wonder set amid the Himalayas and beyond, from a writer who brought genuine devotion and rich learning to the mystical tale.
