Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Tinkler-Gypsies is a novel written by Andrew McCormick and published in 1907. The book tells the story of a group of gypsies, known as tinklers, who travel throughout Scotland in the early 20th century. The main character is a young boy named Tammas, who is taken in by the tinklers after his mother dies. Tammas is fascinated by the tinklers' way of life and becomes close friends with a young girl named Bessie. The book follows Tammas and Bessie as they travel with the tinklers and encounter various challenges and adventures along the way. The novel explores themes of family, friendship, and the struggle to find one's place in the world. It also provides a unique insight into the culture and traditions of the Scottish tinklers, a group of people who were often marginalized and misunderstood in the early 20th century.
