André Migot (1892-1967), was a French doctor, traveller and writer. After the war he went to Indochina, from where in 1947 he made a journey alone through Eastern Tibet and China in order to research aspects of Tibetan Buddhism. During this journey he tried but failed to reach Lhasa disguised as a mendicant lama. As he could speak and write Tibetan, he was able to converse with the lamas, and was initiated into the rituals of one of the Buddhist sects. Traveller, writer and wartime special ops agent Peter Fleming (1907-71), was the elder brother of Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond. Jacket and photos by the author (illustrator).
