I can't praise this book enough. I found this piece of gem in a library and it's one of the best informative and interesting books I have read so far.
This book kind of acts as a documentary of the nomads of Hungrary,Bulgaria etc. Though the book is full of information- history of these gypsies, their lifestyle, their culture etc. it never seems boring. There are also personal narratives of the gypsies. They talk about their dreams,the struggles-the hardship to go through. Bonus part is the colourful pictures. There's even a local lullaby added in the end.

Overall,a brilliant book.

You'll get to know the Rom (Gypsies) of Europe very well though this book. They really speak their minds in the interviews.

An excellent little volume with historical background and interviews with a variety of Rom. Sure, it's a bit dated being published in 1993, but the things the Rom say still ring true today.
