Progressing chronologically from Tudor times when Gypsies first appear in the English written record up to the present day, [Harte] gives an in-depth description of how Romani life, culture and language have developed and adapted through the centuries . . . Harte handles their history with respect; the details of his description, his wry sense of humor and the use of telling quotes are all evidence of his enthusiasm for his subject., Harte has spent many years in close conversation with Romani families, in the position of both participant observer and, more importantly, old friend. As such, he is an excellent guide to the history of Britain's Gypsies. His knowledge of the Anglo-Romani language and its connection to both continental and older British forms of Romani is sound.
