Book Review: Gypsies, by Jan Yoors
Summary: 5 Stars
This was purchased as a gift for friends who have loved it and said it was a great edition.
I read this book many, many years ago and it's one of my favorite "keep forever" books. If anyone hasn't read it, they should grab it now!

Summary of Gypsies
At the age of twelve, Jan Yoors ran away from his privileged, cultured Belgian family and home to join a wandering band, a kumpania, of Gypsies. For ten years, he lived as one of them, traveled with them from country to country, shared both their pleasures and their hardships--and came to know them as no one, no outsider, ever has. Here, in this firsthand and highly personal account of an extraordinary people, Yoors tells the real story of the Gypsies' fascinating customs and their neverending struggle to survive as free nomads in a hostile world.Cultural Books
