Gypsy Folk Tales----Completed
« on: Monday 12 March 07 14:55 GMT (UK) »
I picked up an interesting book entitled "A book of Gypsy Folk-Tales" selected by Dora E. Yates, Hon. Secretary of the Gypsy Lore Society. This book was printed in 1948 and unfortunately does not have a dust cover. However it does have some exellent stories inside its pages. Now comes the best bit. I am willing to post it free to anyone that wants it who has gypsy ancestory......anyone who is interested please PM with their details.........first one who PM's me gets it........ ;D
