Jeremy Harte is curator of the Bourne Hall Museum at Epsom and Ewell. He is secretary of the Romany and Traveller Family History Society and created the Surrey Gypsy Archive. His previous books include Cloven Country: The Devil and the English Landscape (Reaktion, 2022).
"""Progressing chronologically from Tudor times when Gypsies first appear in the English written record up to the present day, [Harte] gives an in-depth description of how Romani life, culture and language have developed and adapted through the centuries . . . Harte handles their history with respect; the details of his description, his wry sense of humor and the use of telling quotes are all evidence of his enthusiasm for his subject.""-- ""The Morning Star (UK)"""
