Book Description
This work is considered a conclusion to George Borrow's book Lavengro. It's a semi-autobiographical work that presents a well-written narrative of the life of a wanderer, scholar, philologist, writer, and sometimes philosopher whose actual name is never mentioned. He is staying with a female acquaintance, Isopel Bermers, and from time to time, He attempts to introduce Isopel to the principles of the Armenian language. He later gets visited by a priest keenly looking for a convert by a family of Romany Gypsies with whom the scholar has once lived. The story circles many interesting and significant events that follow. The novel includes intriguing characters and a delightful writing style, which will hold attention throughout the story. Borrow's incredible portrayal of scenes and the characters make them almost come to life. This "sequel to Lavengro" by George Borrow is an example of classic victorian work and an impressive look at the England of the time.

Book Description
"The Romany Rye" by George Borrow is a novel written in 1857 as a sequel to Lavengro. The story itself follows the journey of a learned young man living with Romanies. It is a philosophical adventure story of sorts. It also contains what could be called ethnographic material on the customs and views of the Romani women. Excerpt: "I awoke at the first break of day, and, leaving the postillion fast asleep, stepped out of the tent. The dingle was dank and dripping. I lighted a fire of coals and got my forge in readiness. I then ascended to the field, where the chaise was standing as we had left it on the previous evening. After looking at the cloud-stone near it, now cold, and split into three pieces, I set about prying narrowly into the condition of the wheel and axle-tree. The latter had sustained no damage of any consequence, and the wheel, as far as I was able to judge, was sound, being only slightly injured in the box."
