The memory of a mysterious 108 year old man kidnaps Terry, a young sensitive boy from a small northern Michigan town in 1998, and throws him into the rough-and-tumble Bowery of New York City ninety five years earlier. Replaced by an identical boy, the only person made aware of Terrys switch and disappearance is his older sister Danielle, who soon discovers herself working against time to find her brother. Her only clues are the prophetic and surreal encounters she has with a very peculiar creature.

This magnificent Gypsy anthology was first published in London 1930. It contains over 300 items of prose and verse gleaned from classical literature, folklore, history and true Gypsy life. It has long been considered unique in its field and is very hard to find in its first edition. We have now re-published this scarce book incorporating the original text and illustrations. The book's 380 pages are divided into 12 sections designed to bring to light the chief facets of Gypsy life. They have been chosen for their historical and anthropological interest and are supported with illustrations of the real Gypsy way of life, and yet the same wind blows over all on this Gypsy heath. Contents include: The Dark Race. - The Roaming Life. - Field and Sky. - Gypsies and Gentiles. - The Romany Chye. - Gypsy Children. - Sturt and Strife. - Black Arts. - A Gypsy Bestiary. - Egipte Speche. - Scholar Gypsies. - Envoy. Also included is a glossary of Romani words. This important book is thoroughly recommended for inclusion on the bookshelf of all with an interest in Gypsy ways.
