With Gypsies in Bulgaria

Liverpool: Henry Young & Sons, 1916 Whilst on holiday the author gets caught in the Balkan disputes and attempts to cross north- eastern Bulgaria with Gypsies, disguised as a Gypsy, and escape into Romania..the costume..like the Tartar disguise in which Borrow journeyed from Bucharest to Constantinople, was ‘very beautiful and by no means dear’..I had a short jacket (thalik) of bright blue cloth effectively braided in black; trousers (kaltse) of the same material similarly decorated, tight at the ankles and calves and amply voluminous above; a shirt-like waistcoat (zabuna) of yellow and red striped material; a sash (kustik) of thick scarlet stuff, five yards long and a foot wide, and a pair of stiff Turkish shoes which blistered my feet abominably. The fez and turban which I bought had to be replaced by a lamb’s-wool kalpak or cap when I decided to travel as a Christian; and during the journey I added to my outfit linen drawers (sosten) and a second girdle, thereby making my costume almost intolerably hot. Some wear to spine extremities. (Binns 55) Scarce.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. more information
