W.B. Trites draws upon the region's rugged scenery, traditional customs and passionate temperament to create a vivid tale of wandering life, romance and personal conflict. Written with the heightened drama and exoticism characteristic of its period, the story offers an evocative literary portrait of a community living beyond the conventions of settled society.\n \u003c\/font\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n \u003cfont face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/font\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n \u003cfont face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n  William Budd Trites was an American-born novelist and journalist who spent much of his literary career in Europe, particularly France. His familiarity with continental settings lends the novel a strong sense of place, while its themes of freedom, desire, loyalty and fate reflect his interest in unconventional lives and characters. Today, the work is also of interest as an example of the romanticised manner in which Romani culture and Spanish life were frequently depicted in English-language fiction during the early twentieth century.\n \u003c\/font\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n \u003cfont face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/font\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n \u003cfont face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n  Published in London by Victor Gollancz Ltd in 1928, this first edition comprises 144 pages and is bound in the publisher's original black cloth, with the title, author and publisher lettered in red upon the spine.
