Following a spell of medical research in Nepal, the author was invited by the King of Bhutan to do similar work among his people. Travelling with his family in spartan simplicity, living and working in close contact with all classes of Bhutanese society, Peter took full advantage of his rare privilege for he was thus able to get on intimate terms with villagers and officials alike and he gives us a penetrating and delightfully uninhibited account of this beautiful land and its warm-hearted people.
