PUBLISHER'S BLURB: A small hydroelectric scheme brought he author and her husband, a civil engineer, to Baglung in the heart of Nepal, 150 miles west of Kathmandu and 30 rugged miles from the nearest metalled road. They chose, however, to live in even remoter Titeng, a tiny village clinging to the steep mountain slope across the valley, and inhabited by Magars of Mongolian origin. They found accommodation in a small barn currently occupied by goats, straw and numerous members of Naina Singh's Family. It consisted of a stable below and an upper storey reached by a bamboo ladder and it looked out onto Annapurna. It became a year of exciting discoveries, both for them and fort the villagers, who crowded the ladder to peer in at their strange customs.
