This magnificent Gypsy anthology was first published in London
1930. It contains over 300 items of prose and verse gleaned from
classical literature, folklore, history and true Gypsy life. It has
long been considered unique in its field and is very hard to find
in its first edition. READ COUNTRY BOOKS has now re-published this
scarce book incorporating the original text and illustrations. The
book's 388 pages are divided into 12 sections designed to bring to
light the chief facets of Gypsy life. They have been chosen for
their historical and archaeological interest, as well as
illustrations of the real Gypsy way of life, and yet the same wind
blows over all on this Gypsy heath.: - The Dark Race. - The Roaming
Life. - Field and Sky. - Gypsies and Gentiles. - The Romany Chye. -
Gypsy Children. - Sturt and Strife. - Black Arts. - A Gypsy
Bestiary. - Egipte Speche. - Scholar Gypsies. - Envoy. Also
included is a glossary of Romani words. This important book can be
thoroughly recommended for inclusion in the library of all with an
interest in Gypsy ways.
