Grey & brown illustrated boards under green jacket, illustrated endpapers, vignette & frontispiece, in-text image of chalk mark, 153 pp. + xxx. First edition. Toning to spine, edgewear to DJ. Very good/Very good. $950 A Newbery Honor book, this is a tale of the Romani in the Welsh highlands, the area where Idwal Jones grew up. It follows a Welsh boy who temporarily joins the Romani in order to find his grandfather; it is both a description of the Welsh Romani culture, and a romantic portrayal of the nomadic lifestyle. Zhenya Gay, herself a traveler and outsider (she was in a long relationship with openly lesbian writer & activist Jan Gay), adds the illustrations for the jacket, endpapers, and frontispiece.
