Description
Along the Enchanted Way: A Story of Love and Life in Romania
William Blacker's journey to rural Romania is a tale of two worlds. In the snow-bound passes of northern Romania, he discovered a medieval world where the slow cycle of the seasons ruled the day. For many years, he lived alongside the country people, learning their traditional way of life and becoming accepted into their community.
However, Blacker's experiences were not without challenge. He became fascinated with the Gypsies, those dark, foot-loose strangers who passed through the village, and fell in love with one of them. This led to a bitter struggle, as change was coming to rural Romania. Blacker's adventures, which span from his early carefree days tramping the hills of Transylvania to the book's poignant ending, offer a glimpse into a magical country world that many thought had vanished long ago.
