  The story of five rare Buddhist sculptures and their extraordinary histories are the subject of this book. The author became fascinated by them when working as the curator of Asian collections at Liverpool Museum (1996-2003) and selected them for display in the Buddhism section of the World Cultures gallery, which opened in 2005.
