{"product_id":"9781909302006","title":"Gypsy Folk Tales - Book Two","description":"This second volume of Gypsy Folk Tales contains stories, \u003cbr\u003etales and legends from Transylvania, Slovakia, Moravia, \u003cbr\u003eBohemia, Poland, England, Wales and Scotland.\u003cp\u003eThis book is a treasure chest of 39 classic Gypsy Folklore stories and makes fascinating reading for those interested in folklore in general, but especially for those interested in the Roma people. Francis Hindes Groome collated and prepared this collection, making only few changes and remaining true to the original stories, so to let the written story enchant us as if it were being presented in the vernacular.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stories are further enhanced by the numerous impressive illustrations recently completed by Maggie Gunzel, the Dutch artist and illustrator who, unlike many illustrators of the 19th C \u003cbr\u003eand 20th C, has also stayed true to the subject matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn his various other works, Groome raises the point that Europe possibly owes a great deal of its folklore heritage to Gypsies, \u003cbr\u003ewho brought tales from East to West. If this is the case, then even the most rooted of Europeans must attribute a portion of their culture to the Gypsy lifestyle. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA percentage of the net sale from this book will be donated to the Relief Fund for Romania.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abela Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49978003390704,"sku":"9781909302006","price":17.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781909302006","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
