Summary of The Story of the Gypsies (History of the Romany) (The Life & Letters Series)
Originally published in London 1929. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Obscure Press are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork. Contents Include: The Missing Words. The Origin of the Gypsies. The Macedonian Gypsy. The Gypsies in Roumania. The Gypsies in Hungary. The Gypsies in France. The Gypsies in Spain. The Gypsies in Germany. The Russian Gypsy. The English Gypsy. The American Gypsy. Nordic Gypsies and Other Strays. The Tent in the Wind. A learned discussion of the mystery of the origin of the Gypsy race and their language, their achievement of happiness without civilisation, and the wild romanticism of their complete denial of nearly all accepted ethical and social values.India Books
