About this book: In this fascinating collection, noted author and folklorist, Charles Godfrey Leland presents his vision of 'the world's earliest religion', namely the beliefs and magical practices of the gypsies. The work presents a wealth of gypsy folklore including incantations, charms, beliefs, anecdotes and tales, rhymes, proverbs, cures and curses collected from a variety of sources, but mainly from gypsies themselves. As well as presenting a wide range of traditional gypsy lore, the book is a revealing record of the mind that compiled it. As president of the Gypsy Lore Society, Leland knew many of the informants personally. He draws on his wide acquaintance with classical and contemporary folklore to illustrate his material, and his collecting methods are a mixture of romance and ethnology which searches for mysticism at the core of the everyday experiences of a people whom he revered.
