Welcome
Welcome - I'm Robert Dawson, specialising in Gypsy and Romany books, Gypsy postcards and educational materials for Britain's Traditional Travelling people. I've been involved with Travellers (especially Romani Gypsies and Scottish Nawken Travellers) for over half a century.
On this site you will find many unique Gypsy books, cards, educational material and a lot more. I'm a writer and member of various Romany and Traveller societies and some years ago was honoured at a Pride Not Prejudice conference with a lifetime achievement award. I first became involved in the 1950s.

Gypsy and Traveller specialist books - I am a small one-person publisher of books by and about Traditional Travellers - British Romany Gypsies, Scottish and Irish Travellers – where the books add to the previous knowledge. This section gives books currently in print.
I also produce postcards depicting Traditional Travellers from old photos and cards.

In recent years, I've become fascinated with solitary bees and bumble bees. Most people think of bees as just honey bees and bumble bees, but solitary bees - and there are about 240 different species in the UK - are every bit as interesting. Read about Solitary Bees and Bumble Bees
