Puffin Story Book PS10. 1st edition, published 1943.
The first book in Henning Haslund's Mongolia series. Haslund was a Danish explorer who later, along with Frans Larson was a caravaneer on the Sven Hedin expedition in Central Asia. Haslund takes us into the barely known world of Mongolia, a country isolated from the world for centuries. Haslund's camel caravan takes him across the Gobi Desert where he meets with renegade generals and warlords, god-kings and shamans.
Haslund is captured, held for ransom, thrown into prison, battles black magic and portrays in vivid detail the birth of a new nation. Meet the reincarnated gods: the 'Mad Baron' Ungern-Sternberg and Dambin Jansang, the dreaded Tushi Gun Lama of the Black Gobi, trek across the Gobi Desert, and go back in time to Shamanic Mongolia.
Condition grading: Very Good. Very small tear to top right edge of front cover. Some damage to top of spine. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
