It is no ordinary circus, for Alexander is a highland terrier and William is Pony Billy who draws the caravan.

She wrote it for her own pleasure and at the request of friends in America who shared her love of the Lake District and north country tales.




Romani Culture and Gypsy Identity


Book Description

Romany culture is perhaps the most Indo-European of all. The ancestors of the Gypsies left India around 1000 years ago and mixed with every culture on the way to produce a variety of Romany dialects and well-known cultural achievements from Hungarian Gypsy music to the English Gypsy caravan. Such images somehow co-exist, however, with continuous persecution.
