The book is a description of the life of the Spanish Gypsies - an interesting late 18th century English look at the gypsies - with an original collection of their songs and poetry. A large section is devoted to the language of the Gitanos, "Robber" language, and specimens of Gypsy dialects, and the English dialect of the Rommany. The final part is entitled " Miscellenies in the Gitano Language." Borrow was the author of a number of classic works on the Gypsies, both in Europe and England.

Remember George?,
By Fulgour Prentice (Flora Township) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Zincali - An Account of the Gypsies of Spain (Paperback)
George Borrow was the author of the more well known "auto-biographical" duet of Lavengro & The Romany Rye. The Zincali recounts his adventures in Spain, especially as concerns The Rom (aka Gypsies) whom he loved and was loved by in return. George, you see, was the Romany Rye ~ the non-gypsy Gypsy. I hope this new edition garners a wide audience, and would like to recommend it to anyone interested in Mr Borrow and his delightful storytelling. "3 Cheers!"
