{"product_id":"9781906011642-secondhand-tibetan-foothold","title":"Tibetan Foothold","description":"Dervla Murphy's first epic journey from Ireland to India by bicycle,  Full Tilt , is a complete adventure in itself. It is also the first volume of a trilogy of experience that continues with  Tibetan Foothold . For the young Irish woman, once she had got herself to India by July 1963, immersed herself in the life of the sub-continent, working for six months in an orphanage for Tibetan children in the refugee camps of Northern India. Here, she fell in love with the 'Tiblets' - the cheerful, tough, uncomplaining, independent and affectionate children of the new Tibet-in-exile. First published in 1966,  Tibetan Foothold  not only confirmed Dervla's status as a traveller, but also revealed her to be a truly independent voice and an acute observer of politics and society.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49149867229403,"sku":"9781906011642-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/c85e8a05-c3ed-485b-ac50-992a8ebc5e7a.jpg?v=1786959796","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781906011642-secondhand-tibetan-foothold","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
