I have spent over 50 years researching and writing about Britain’s Traditional Travellers – Gypsies (Romanies), Scottish Travellers and Irish Travellers and have written over 30 books and booklets about their History, Language, Way of Life, Traditions, Culture, Folk Lore and Families.
I have the honour to be the President of the Romany and Traveller FHS, former Treasurer of Derbyshire Gypsy Lore Society, a member the Gypsy Council (GCECWCR), and former member of the Gypsy Lore Society, of the Romany Society and other related organizations.
It takes a great deal of outlay to publish a book and usually several years to break even and resources come entirely from my own pocket. I publish very few books in consequence and do not publish Traveller poetry or fiction at all, however deserving. I am only interested in factual books which break new ground in some way.
Please browse the list of publications below.
I welcome Local Authority orders, and many of my booklets and specialist material is to be found in libraries and schools.
