Romany Gypsies have been variously portrayed as exotic strangers or as crude, violent delinquents; this book is the first real history of the Romany people, from the inside. Jeremy Harte vividly portrays the hardships of the travelling life, the skills of woodland crafts, the colourful artistic traditions, the mysteries of a lost language and the flamboyant displays of weddings and funerals, which are all still present in this secretive culture. Travellers through Time tells the dramatic story of life on the margin of society from Tudor times to today, offering vivid insights into the hidden world of England's large Gypsy population. It will appeal to those who are curious about other cultures, as well as those who want to understand the reality behind the prejudice." --Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 909.04914 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 909.04914 Harte Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 909.04914 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 909.04914 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Nonfiction 909.04914 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 909.04914 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList
