Author: Hoadley, Michael.

Always interested in alternative lifestyles and alternative medicine, Michael Hoadley started collecting Romany lore and remedies. This book is the result of a lifetime's association with Romany Gypsies, much of it written from a personal point of view. A comfortable fireside book with something to interest everyone, it includes Romany origins, practices, beliefs, customs and lore, healing remedies and tales. An intensely personal book about a little-known people who live life to the full in their own very individual ways.
