Far Beyond the Garden Gate: Alexandra David-Neel's Journey to Lhasa
Don Brown. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH), $16 (32pp) ISBN 978-0-618-08364-0
Like his Alice Ramsey's Grand Adventure and Ruth Law Thrills a Nation, Don Brown's Far Beyond the Garden Gate: Alexandra David-Neel's Journey to Lhasa charts another innovative woman in a concise picture-book biography. Here, the focus is Parisian-born Alexandra David-Neel's determination to enter the Tibetan capital. A spread of David-Neel crossing a gorge by cable illustrates the lengths to which she goes to become the first Western woman to enter Lhasa, in 1924.
