GYPSIES HAWKERS AND OTHER TRAVELLERS
IN THE ENGLISH SOUTH MIDLANDS
An anthology of references from local newspapers 1744-1911
Extracted and compiled by Keith Chandler (A4, 121 pages)

A valuable source book for anyone interested in the lifestyle and the biographies of those who travelled through Oxfordshire, Berkshire and neighbouring counties in past times.

Concentrating on the April to October period, when most Gypsies, hawkers, fairground people and travelling entertainers tended to be on the move, the author has brought to light a treasury of references to several hundred individuals whose activities or brushes with the law at fairs and markets caught the attention of local reporters.
