In Gypsy Tents (1880)

In Gypsy Tents is a book written by Francis Hindes Groome and published in 1880. It is a collection of stories and observations about the life and culture of the Romani people, commonly known as Gypsies. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of Romani life, including their customs, beliefs, language, and music. Groome spent a significant amount of time living among the Romani people in various parts of Europe, and his firsthand experiences and interactions with them are reflected in the book. He provides detailed descriptions of their nomadic lifestyle, their colorful clothing, and their distinctive caravans. In addition to describing the physical aspects of Romani life, Groome delves into their spiritual beliefs and practices, including their superstitions and rituals. He also discusses the challenges and prejudices that the Romani people face, particularly in the context of the wider society in which they live. Overall, In Gypsy Tents offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of the Romani people, as seen through the eyes of an outsider who was deeply interested in their culture and way of life. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Romani history and culture, as well as for those who simply enjoy reading about different cultures and ways of life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
