Themes
The themes of Tulku are the intertwining of religion and politics, the nature of personal belief, and how far belief can coexist with cynicism. Thus it is similar to Dickinson's earlier novel The Blue Hawk (Gollancz, 1977), for which he won the once-in-a-lifetime Guardian Children's Fiction Prize.
