Here are tales in which young mothers become vampires and wolves become lawyers; where ostracism, poverty, hunger and death are countered by resourcefulness, hospitality, and magic. Here are tales that offer imaginative explanations of why the Gypsies live all over the world, why they have no church and no alphabet, why they love music; tales that link the Gypsies' past to their recent successful efforts to organize against oppression

Nice addition to my collection
This book is to add to my collection of books about Gypsies/Roma, their culture, lore, music, etc. I have not yet read this book, but it looks very interesting and like it will be helpful in my own research.
