Konchok Tharchin & Konchok Namgyal; Francesca Merritt, ed. Recollections of Tibet. [s.l.]: [s.n.].

Manuscript held at University of Oxford. Not for selection, (unless you will be in Oxford to read it!). c. 200?. For a review of the two autobiographical sources, see http://www.ladakhstudies.org/resources/Resources/LS20.pdf
Write 4-5pp (1200-1500 words) book review of the book you selected, and post it here using the format that is up there (CCNMTL staff can help with wiki postings if you have any trouble). Please start your paper with a one paragraph (150 word) abstract giving the following information: who the books is about, the main figure (include Tibetan spelling of personal names if you can find), when it took place (note the time periods covered), where, what part(s) of Tibet or the world (again, include Tibetan spellings if given), what is described (contents of narrative) and why the autobiography was written (i.e. ,motive[s] for telling the story).
