Though fiction about eighty five percent of the events in this story are based on real happenings which took place in 1949 when the communist took over the tribal areas of Yunan, China. Many on the hunting stories are again based on real events many which were experienced by my father and other family members, but the majority of them took place twenty years earlier when it was still even wilder along the Burma China border. The last major man eating tiger belongs to that era. The story follows a Christian Lahu family at the time the communists take over the area where they are living in 1949 until they flee out into Burma some nine months later and their lives are made much more difficult by the presence of a man eating tiger. The story presents a way of life, tribal beliefs, and folk stories while authentic have already largely disappeared in much of this area due to the onslaught of civilization. Communism wiped away much of the tribal culture, though many elements still remain.For example, the usual home is no longer bamboo with thatched roofs, but cement and tile in the area where the story takes place. Instead of rice for the morning meal, noodles have become the mainstay. Chinese is the main language taught in the schools and many no longer remember many of their own traditions.But some of the tiger stories presented in this book are still told.

Bobby, just trying to adjust to a new school, and Sally are transported back in time as Tyrannosauruses to see the truth of creation unfold before their eyes. They journey to the Garden of Eden with their guide, Gabby, an adult tyrannosaurus, but more than a mere dinosaur, one of the Creator’s messengers. The world they experience is breath taking in its beautiful, a very different world than the one we live in; yet a world compatible with the one presented in the Bible. It is a still sinless world, yet an exciting place to live for Bobby and Sally are able to talk to the many other animals present in the Garden. They spend time with both Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and are involved in a number of exciting adventures. All changes when Eve succumbs to the serpent’s temptation, who also is in the World of the Beginning in the form of a strikingly beautiful tyrannosaurus. As the Garden falls apart, and sin takes hold, Bobby and Sally are transported back their own time, now fast friends, and with a new appreciation of the creation of our own world.
