NOW DISCOUNTED BY 57%. This pb book is about three little known chapters in Gypsy and Traditional Traveller history. At one time, there was confusion between Romany Gypsies and 'Counterfeit Egyptians' but some old documents now shed new light on this. For about 200 years, Britain's Traditional Travellers - Romanies, irish Travellers and Scottish Travellers - were rounded up and taken to Barbados where they were sold as slaves, predating and overlapping the African slavery. Faced with that prospect or being hanged only for being a Gypsy, many went into hiding and found themselves confused with fairies!
