Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Isopel Berners The last century was yet in its infancy when the author of The Romany Rye first saw the light in the sleepy little East Anglian township of East Dereham, in the county distinguished by Borrow as the one in which the people eat the best dumplings in the world and speak the purest English. "Pretty quiet D[ereham]" was the retreat in those days of a Lady Bountiful in the person of Dame Eleanor Fenn, relict of the worthy editor of the Paston Letters. It is better known in literary history as´ the last resting-place of a sad and unquiet spirit, escaped from a world in which it had known nought but sorrow, of "England´s sweetest and most pious bard," William Cowper. But Destiny was weaving a robuster thread to connect East Dereham with literature, for George Borrow was born there on July 5th, 1803, and, nomad though he was, the place was always dear to his heart as his earliest home.
