Synopsis

Renowned and much-loved Dorset author G.E.C. Webb was known among gypsies as “Romani Rai”, an honour rarely given to one who was not of Romani blood. In this brilliant and engrossing novel, he shares his most revealing memories of these mysterious people, which go back to his Dorset schooldays in the 1920s. Here is the story of how young Permus, one of the last descendants of the true Romani race and his struggles with remaining true to his upbringing or living in a house, marrying the girl he has fallen in love with and leaving his Romani ancestry behind him, an ancient culture with strange customs and beliefs. Of all the people on the road today commonly referred to as gypsies, very few can be rightly so called. True gypsies are people descended from the mysterious Romani tribes who first came to England some centuries ago. G.E.C. Webb was regarded as one of the UK’s leading authorities on Romanis and their customs. Discover their way of life and learn about their now mostly-lost language in this wonderful novel set in a world long gone.
