A book of beguiling sketches of Travellers' life by Beshlie, herself a Traveller, and a talented artist acclaimed by no less a figure than Augustus John. This is a pictorial complement to Beshlie's compelling book, Romany Road.

Beshlie, a seasoned Traveller and talented artist, gives us a memoir of her life on the road with various birds and animals as company, wild and tame, and, in so doing, also gives us an insight into the changing way of the Travellers' way of life.

This long awaited book by Beshlie, her longest to date, describes her itinerant life in waggons and trailers, giving a first hand account of the life of the Traveller, and giving an insight into the Romani culture. The book is enriched by many of Beshlie's own illustrations.

Maggie Smith-Bendell was born in a Somerset pea-field in 1941, the second of eight children in a Romani family. As a child, Maggie rode and slept in a horse-drawn wagon, picked hops and flowers, sat beside her father's campfire on ancient verges, poor but free to roam. As the twentieth century progressed, common land was fenced off and the traditional Gypsy ways disappeared. Eventually Maggie married a house-dweller and tried to settle for bricks and mortar, but she never lost the restless spirit, the deep love of the land and the gift of storytelling that were her Romani inheritance.
