About this book
Creators: George Borrow (1803-1881) and Edmund J. Sullivan (1869-1933) [Illustrator] "Lavengro: The Scholar, The Gypsy, The Priest" by George Borrow is a work published in 1851 that blends memoir and novel. Following a protagonist named George from his childhood in military barrack towns through various occupations—lawyer's apprentice, London hack writer, and traveling tinker—the book offers vivid portraits of Romany travelers and English low-life. Neither entirely autobiography nor pure fiction, this classic of 19th-century literature captures an era of strong, eccentric characters through episodes that interweave genuine experience with imaginative storytelling.
