About this Item

A first edition, first printing of 'The Diddakoi' by Rumer Godden, published by Macmillan in 1972. A very good book with a neat name to the head of the endpaper. In a very good clipped wrapper with some light edgewear and two short closed tears to the head of the front panel. The Diddakoi by Rumer Godden is a poignant story about Kizzy, a half-Romani (diddakoi) orphan girl who struggles to find acceptance in a prejudiced, close-knit English village. Raised by her fiercely independent great-great-aunt and their beloved horse, Kizzy faces bullying and hostility when her aunt dies. The book explores themes of identity, resilience, and belonging as Kizzy's life intertwines with both cruelty and unexpected kindness. Godden's lyrical writing paints a vivid picture of Kizzy's world, balancing the hardships she endures with the eventual compassion of others. It's a moving tale of courage and humanity in the face of adversity.
