Farre, Rowena A Time from the World
London Hutchison 1962 Hard Cover In Very Good Used Condition. Good Dust Jacket 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
190 pages; by the author of Seal Mornng - the photograph of Miss Farre in the front gives one the impresson that she's held a fasconation for gypsies since she was very young, perhaps like me she heard "Last night you slept on a goose-feather bed, With the sheet turned down so bravely, O. To-night you will sleep in the cold, open field, Along with the Raggle, Taggle Gypsies, O." in any case there's enoug here to tempt one to follow them, or at least look for a "lurcher" These dogs were bred to hunt rabbit and hare in Ireland and Great Britain by Irish gypsies and tinkers in the 1600's.
