AbstractHistoryArchive Description
"This is a moving and dramatic story of a young boy's friendship with an outsider - a man who has shunned convention and "taken the robe" as a Buddhist monk. The bigotry and confusion felt by the people of the small country town lead to tragedy, but the boy's constant loyalty and friendship prevail.
A story of compassion, friendship and tolerance." (Source: QBD)
