The Romany Rye This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content.

George Henry Borrow was an English novelist and travel writer who drew on his personal experiences in Europe. His travels gave him a close affinity for the Romani people of Europe, who play an important role in his work. His most well-known works are The Bible in Spain and the novels Lavengro and The Romany Rye, which are set during his stay among the English Romanichal (Gypsies). Borrow was born in East Dereham, Norfolk, the son of Thomas Borrow (1758-1824), an army recruiter, and Ann Perfrement (1772-1858), a farmer's daughter. His father, a lieutenant in the West Norfolk Militia, was imprisoned at Norman Cross from July 1811 to April 1813, and George spent his ninth and tenth years in the barracks there. He attended the Royal High School of Edinburgh and the Norwich Grammar School. Borrow studied law, but languages and literature became his primary passions. In 1825, he made his first major European excursion, trekking across France and Germany. Over the next five years, he traveled to Russia, Portugal, Spain, and Morocco, becoming acquainted with the people and languages of each country.
