From the Back Cover:
"Fascinating. A lyrical tribute, a unique inside view." -- Newsweek
"An exciting firsthand impression of life in a Gypsy camp forever on the move. A most valuable and original contribution." -- New York Times Book Review
"Beautifully evokes a way of life in which freedom and independence still survive." -- Sir Herbert Read
"Unquestionably the only book ever written from the inside of this most mysterious and elusive group of people. Beautifully written. A treasure. I think you will find it difficult to stop reading this unique and personal love song for a way of life." -- Houston Post
"Absolutely delightful." -- Margaret Mead
"Unique. No stay-at-home can read the book without a stab of yearning. . . . Reading it is like gulping in fresh air and experiencing a vicarious release from the complications of `civilized' living." -- Minneapolis Tribune
"Enchanting. There are many surprising revelations . . . but most amazing is the spell that is cast on the reader." -- Columbus Dispatch
"Exciting, fascinating . . . we not only understand but also actually envy the Romani soul, and feel as though we would gladly shed a few of our encumbrances to join them." -- Chicago's American
"Of course any right thinking boy would dream about joining a Gypsy caravan, but Jan Yoors actually left his comfortable home and found a nomadic life as splendid as his dreams. And now he has enough of the poet in him to convey his timeless, routineless, endless fascination of wandering through a changing countryside, creeping through frontiers, part of a mysterious society." -- Christian Science Monitor
