Tales of the Golden Corpse is the first complete English version of the famous Tibetan folktales told to a young boy who has killed seven sorcerers in the defense of his Master. The boy must redeem himself by carrying a talking corpse full of wondrous tales on a long journey, without himself speaking a word. These 25 tales of intrigue and magic provide the reader with a window through which to view ancient Tibetan culture. Within them, you will encounter heroes and villains, fearsome witches, murderous demons, and clever tricksters with a uniquely Tibetan humor. Songs, riddles, jokes, and sayings make the stories come alive as they unfold against the background of everyday Tibet--its farmers and nomads, kings and magical beings.

Benson, Sandra: - Sandra Benson is the author of the English-Tibetan Folktale Reader, the first collection of Tibetan folk tales used in English-language education in Tibet. She lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
