For too long, their history has been misrepresented as exotic strangers or violent outsiders. This book sets the record straight, drawing on new archival and first-hand research to reveal a rich and vibrant culture. From Tudor times to the present day, Travellers through Time tells the dramatic story of Romany life on the British margins. Jeremy Harte vividly describes their itinerant lifestyle, artistic traditions, unique language, and flamboyant ceremonies, providing a unique insight into this fascinating community. With its engaging narrative and meticulous research, Travellers through Time is an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the Roma people's place in English history.
