Synopsis

Now in its second printing!

George Borrow, best known as the author of The Bible in Spain, Lavengro, The Romany Rye, and Wild Wales, is to all who know of him an enigmatic and interesting character.

In this fascinating book, Ivan Bunn weaves the story of the life of Borrow into the history of Oulton, Suffolk, where, for over forty years during the 19th Century, Borrow had interest in and later owned a 300 acre estate. Using much hitherto unpublished material, the author examines how the self-proclaimed "King of the Gypsies" impacted upon the Parish which for many years was his home.

With a free-flowing, easy to follow narrative, and an in-depth study, this book is perfect for the casual reader, local historian, and academic alike.
