5.0 out of 5 stars Nostalgic , 10 Jul 2006
By kehs (Hertfordshire, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This book tells of what life on the road was like in the early 1900s, and of how different types of people treated the gypsy folk. It's full of fascinating insights, some quite sad moments, and also happy memories of Betsy Whyte, whose tale this is. Betsy was a terrific storyteller and I am looking forward to reading the second part of her story in Red Rowans and Honey.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lovely book, 12 Jun 2006
By Dani Q (Highlands, Scotland) - See all my reviews
For those that want to understand a little more about Scottish travellers in the early part of the last century then this book is for you. Interspersed with 'cant' words and social rites, it is a heart felt and warming portrayal of a way of life, not only of travellers but of country folk, now gone. It makes me glad that traveller people continue to exist, especially in this harder and seemingly less tolerant world. This book helps to put their lives in a historical context. Thank you Betsy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic
Betsy was and still is the master story teller.

It cannot be emphasised just how good and important Betsy's books are.
An absolute delight from start to finish.
