In Gypsy Tents is a book written by Francis Hindes Groome and published in 1880. The book is a collection of stories and observations about the lives of Romani people, also known as Gypsies, in England during the late 19th century. Groome spent a significant amount of time living among the Romani people and learning about their customs, traditions, and way of life. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Romani life. Some of the topics covered in the book include Romani music, dance, and storytelling, as well as their beliefs and superstitions. Groome also provides insights into the Romani language and its unique grammar and vocabulary. Throughout the book, Groome portrays the Romani people with great respect and admiration, highlighting their strong sense of community and their ability to thrive despite the many challenges they faced. He also acknowledges the discrimination and prejudice that the Romani people experienced at the hands of non-Romani society. In Gypsy Tents is a fascinating and detailed account of a little-known culture and way of life, written by someone who had a deep understanding and appreciation of the Romani people. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Romani people, as well as for those interested in 19th-century England and its social issues.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
