Publisher's Note

We are happy to publish this work entitled

The Water-Horse and Other

Years

by K. Dhondup.

As explained by the author himself, this work is mainly intended

for the young Tibetans. Tibetan history remains scattered in various

volumes and documents in different libraries and institutions. The

five articles which comprise

The Water-Horse and Other Years

brings

to us a glimpse of the sound and fury of the 17th and 18lh century

Tibet.

We shall look forward to young Tibetans who will read and write

many more works on similar themes and bring to life the Tibetan

past that is fast slipping from us.

Gyatsho Tshering

Director

We would like to thank Ms. Barbara Standley for rendering the

editorial assistance for the second edition.
