Traveling People

Maggie Smith Bendell is the author of "Rabbit Stew and a Penny or Two: A Gypsy Family’s Hard Times and Happy Times on the Road in the 1950s." If you're interested in life on the road, please read Maggie's book - it's wonderful. Maggie kindly read a draft of "Lizzie and The Lost Baby" to make sure that I had not included any inaccuracies or misleading information about gypsy/travelers in my story. The slide show below contains photographs of gypsy vardoes (wagons) and grys (horses). You'll find many more on the Romany Heritage Facebook page.
