Tulku is a children's historical novel by Peter Dickinson, published by Gollancz in 1979. Set in China and Tibet at the time of the Boxer Rebellion, it features a young teenage boy orphaned by the violence, who flees with others to a Buddhist monastery. Dickinson and Tulku won two major awards for British children's books, the Whitbread Children's Book Award[2] and the Carnegie Medal.[3] The Carnegie Medal from the Library Association then recognised the year's outstanding children's book by a British subject.
Dutton published a U.S. edition within the calendar year under its Unicorn imprint.[1][4]
