The girl in the painted caravan : memories of a Romany childhood

The girl in the painted caravan : memories of a Romany childhood

Born into a Romany gypsy family in 1939, Eva Petulengro travelled the country with her family in their painted caravan. They gathered wild herbs to make traditional remedies, hunted game and rabbits, the men tended horses and the women were reading palms to make a living. But as the countryside became increasingly hostile to all travelers, Eva's world turned upside down.
