Items related to Gypsy Horses and the Travelers Way: The Road to Appleby...
For a thousand years, Gypsies wandered, seldom welcome, often misunderstood, traveling and searching, for today's daily bread. Gypsy Horses and the Traveler's Way rides bareback into the midst of their mysterious culture. This poetic adventure celebrates proper Romani heritage and their beloved horses, in the fields, life on the road, and the journey to Appleby fair. The first 100 pages of the book is a 10,000-word narrative, accompanied by more than 235 travel images, followed by a brief history of the Gypsies' last 1,000 years in Europe with 15 historical images from the University of Liverpool archives. The second section of the book is an 84-page layout of 40 artistic images placed sparsely on two page spreads.
