(price-clipped) [modest shelfwear to bottom edges, label of Folklore Associates, Hatboro, Pennsylvania, affixed to title page above printed publisher's name; jacket has a bit of wrinkling and wear along the top edge]. (B&W photographs) "An intimate account of Gypsy life" in the U.K., written by an author who is touted in the jacket blurb as "a member of the Gypsy Lore Society, founded by a band of scholars in 1888 to study the Romani race [and] is one of the few 'gorgios' really to know the Gypsies and to be accepted by them." (In case this gets you wondering: yes, the Gypsy Lore Society still exists today; although founded in Great Britain, it has been headquartered in the U.S. since 1989.).
