The Girl In The Painted Caravan Memories Of A Romany Childhood

Born into a Romany gypsy family in 1939, Eva Petulengro's childhood seemed to her to be idyllic in every way - travelling the country in their painted caravan, spending evenings by the fire, not going to school or visiting a doctor. The family would make traditional remedies, hunt game and rabbits for food, the men tended horses, the women would read palms. But Eva's world turned upside down in the post-war era.
