About This Item

London: Penguin Books, 1973. First Thus. . Soft cover. Good. First thus (first Penguin paperback edition). 18 × 11cm, 202pp + family tree. Famous for his venturesome spirit and advocacy of a self-supporting existence, John Seymour was a natural and sympathetic editor for this remarkable book, first published in 1970, which offers the authentic voice of a Romany gypsy (a scrap metal merchant and horse trader) describing the life he has led and the longer lineage of his family. Silvester Gordon Boswell speaks of himself as one of the Boswells who have been on the road in England for generations, traveling the length of the land in a manner largely unhindered. The book documents the Boswell family tree and the nomadic Romany lifestyle, and forms an invaluable document of a culture. Illustrated with photographs. Condition: Good condition. Some creasing to the spine and some tanning to the page but remaining in strong readable condition.
