It is also the first volume of a trilogy of experience that continues with \u003ci\u003eTibetan Foothold\u003c\/i\u003e. For the young Irish woman, once she had got herself to India by July 1963, immersed herself in the life of the sub-continent, working for six months in an orphanage for Tibetan children in the refugee camps of Northern India. Here, she fell in love with the 'Tiblets' - the cheerful, tough, uncomplaining, independent and affectionate children of the new Tibet-in-exile. First published in 1966, \u003ci\u003eTibetan Foothold\u003c\/i\u003e not only confirmed Dervla's status as a traveller, but also revealed her to be a truly independent voice and an acute observer of politics and society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47934397219052,"sku":"9781906011642","price":70.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781906011642-tibetan-foothold.jpg?v=1783916152","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/tibetan-foothold-by-dervla-murphy-9781906011642","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
