A romantic mystery, spoilt for me by much repetitive discussion of relatively few situations and large amounts of strangely spelt dialogue. The story line is improbable. Still, I managed to finish it. I couldn't decide whether the copious information on Gypsy and rural Welsh life was authentic or not. Presumably the many Romany words that appear were in use in those days. He was friends with well-known writers such as Swinburne and Tennyson.
