Travellers through Time : A Gypsy History, Hardback Book

Travellers through Time : A Gypsy History Hardback

Hardback

Less than 10 available - usually despatched within 24 hours

Description

Romany Gypsies have been variously portrayed as exotic strangers or as crude, violent delinquents; this book is the first real history of the Romany people, from the inside.

Jeremy Harte vividly portrays the hardships of the travelling life, the skills of woodland crafts, the colourful artistic traditions, the mysteries of a lost language and the flamboyant displays of weddings and funerals, which are all still present in this secretive culture. Travellers through Time tells the dramatic story of life on the margin of society from Tudor times to today, offering vivid insights into the hidden world of England's large Gypsy population.

It will appeal to those who are curious about other cultures, as well as those who want to understand the reality behind the prejudice.
