Exploring the Romani culture, this work serves as both a dictionary of the Romani language and a rich collection of gypsy verse, songs, and folklore. Borrow’s close relationship with the Romani people during his travels across Europe influences the content, which includes scripture, the Lord's Prayer, and insights into gypsy life, such as fortune-telling practices. The book opens with an etymological discussion on the term "Romany," linking it to concepts of husbandry and masculinity, highlighting the deep cultural connections within the Romani community.
