| Summary: |
"The book itself is a record of some gleanings along a literary Gypsy by-path. There is a Polish proverb which says 'He who fraternises with a Gypsy becomes himself a Gypsy' and so far as treatment of the subject is concerned, the author has grown Gypsy-like. This is a reprint of the second edition of 1907 issued only a year after the first and includes George Meredith's analysis of the character of the Tinklers together with a scholarly introduction by John Sampson, the most prominent Gypsiologist of the time. The work is fully illustrated with photographs and prints." --Dust jacket. |
