It follows the adventures of an orphan son of a British soldier who is raised by an Indian woman becomes a disciple to a Lama and ultimately becomes an undercover agent as well.

This is a very good copy front endpaper slightly cracked at the gutter light speckling of the cloth plus one small stain on the rear cover; as always there is some foxing of the endpapers and of the frontispiece tissue guard and there is minor rubbing of the gilt elephant.
