Title: The High Road to China
Description: A&C Black, 2007. Paperback. Pp: 316. In 1774, British traders longed to open relations with China so they sent a young Scotsman, George Bogle, as an envoy to Tibet.

This gripping book tells the story of their two extraordinary journeys across some of the harshest and highest terrain in the world: Bogle's mission, and the Panchen Lama's state visit to China, on which British hopes were hung. Piecing together extracts from Bogle's private papers, Tibetan biographies of the Panchen Lama, the account of a wandering Hindu monk and the writings of the Emperor himself, Kate Teltsher deftly reconstructs the momentous meeting of these very different worlds.
