Picking up where Lavengro left off, Borrow’s narrator wakes in his dingle, mends a broken chaise at his forge and sets off again across the England of the 1820s. He keeps company with gypsies, postilions, ostlers, a priest and the remarkable Isopel Berners, talks languages and religion with all comers, and ends among the horse dealers of a great country fair.
A strange, rambling, fiercely individual book, prized by lovers of the open road and of Romani life. Download the free EPUB.
