Rosemary Penfold's beautiful and evocative memoir of her life growing up in the areas of the English countryside is a moving testament to a neglected world and a disappearing and misinterpreted people. Born in 1938 in a traditional Gypsy wagon, bounded by the love of her parents and prolonged family in a little but close-knit community, Rosemary paints a stunning and touching portrait of a means of life that no more exits. From her early on memories of her father having home oranges during the war to the easy beauty of a field packed with butterflies on a hot summer's day, Rosemary's fashionable narrative captures the love and loss, hopes and problems, and customs and prejudices that destined her to her family, and helped her adapt to a fast-changing world.
