HBDJ, 1961, 1ST EDITION THUS, EARLY REPRINT,VG+/VG+Larger Format, Tiny Extremites chips wear DJ, THICK BLACK CLOTH GOLD GILT ON SPINE CVR, INDEX 397 pgs , It is a philosophical adventure story of sorts. The book involves meetings with a number of eccentric characters. It also contains what could be called ethnographic material on the customs and views of the Romani women, GYPSY GENTLEMAN, The author obtains a valuable horse from his Romani friend Jasper Petulengro and eventually sells it to a Hungarian at the Horncastle horse fair. As with Lavengro, the story ends rather abruptly with the author's realisation that the Romani language has close links to the Northern Indian languages: he resolves to travel to India but Borrow himself did not do so.
