Publisher's Synopsis
""The Gypsies of the Danes Dike"" is a novel set in England in the year 1855, written by George Searle Phillips. The story follows the lives of a group of gypsies who have settled near a hedge-side in the countryside. The main character, a young boy named Tom, befriends the gypsies and becomes fascinated by their way of life. As he spends more time with them, he learns about their customs, beliefs, and struggles. The novel explores themes of prejudice, poverty, and the clash between traditional and modern ways of life. It also delves into the complex relationships between the gypsies and the non-gypsy residents of the area, as well as the challenges faced by the gypsies as they try to survive in a society that often discriminates against them. Overall, ""The Gypsies of the Danes Dike"" offers a glimpse into a fascinating and often misunderstood community, and provides a thought-provoking commentary on the social issues of its time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
