About this book

"The Romany Rye" by George Borrow is a novel written in 1857 as a sequel to "Lavengro." This partly autobiographical philosophical adventure follows a learned young man living among the Romanies. The story features encounters with eccentric characters and ethnographic observations of Romani customs. The protagonist acquires a valuable horse from his Romani friend Jasper Petulengro, sells it at the Horncastle horse fair, and discovers linguistic connections between the Romani and Northern Indian languages that inspire dreams of distant travels.
