Neither Night nor Day is the magical tale of a Tibetan boy who sets out on a journey in search of a cure for his ailing mother. Travelling across vast upland plateaus, over rivers and dangerous high Himalayan passes, he encounters a succession of lamas, magicians, strange yogis, yoginis and animal guides, who help and give him advice along the way.
The setting and culture of the story is primarily Tibetan but there is enough ambivalence in the telling to give it relevance to any child in any culture whose imagination has the freedom to penetrate the apparently concrete fabric of existence.
Written with descriptive color and humor, the book is also illustrated by the author's own extraordinary art work, full of charm and completely authentic Tibetan cultural details. The paintings are an integral part of the story and conspire to usher a reader into the magical ambience of the tale.
