Tired of the stale fables people still believed about Gypsies, Cuttriss sets down what he learned in many years of friendly visits to English Romany camps. He writes about their travels, trades, family life, customs, language and fierce loyalty to their own ways, and about the pressures of the settled world around them; his outlook is sympathetic but very much that of an Edwardian outsider.
