This is a very good overview of some of the early 'trespassers' and their trips to Tibet from the perspective of the author who has been there during current times. It is a good chance to understand some of their fascination, wishes and dreams and to see how they compare to our own wish for a Shangri-la. This is especially true as the author had access to the actual diary of one of the people.The pictures by the author's daughter are done with great charm and help convey the wonderful culture that has been nearly destroyed by Chinese occupation. This book should definitely be read.
