Title
Gypsies and gentlemen: The life and times of the leisure caravan,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This is the chronicle of a vehicle which only a hundred years ago was the plaything of the rich, a new invention borrowed from the tinkers and the gypsies...Yet there is no word for "caravan" in the Romany language. Caravans only became a practical proposition when metaled roads began to be introduced, in the midnineteenth century. Since then, they have been the height of fashion and the symbol of low necessity, enjoying popularity and scorn in equal measure. People from all walks of life have taken to the open road.
