Romany Rye
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Romany Rye is a novel by George Borrow, written in 1857.
Largely thought to be at least partly autobiographical it follows on from Lavengro (1851). Indeed, on October 18, 1853 Mrs. George Borrow wrote to John Murray (his publisher), and spoke of her husband's completing his work - "which he proposes to call 'The Romany Rye - A Sequel to Lavengro.'"
The story itself follows the journey of a learned young man thrown in with Gypsies. It is a philosophical adventure story of sorts.
