Description
A young cockney girl, Anna Harris, visits a fortune-teller and is told that her future holds great mystery. An adventure then unfolds of a gipsy family (the Boswells) who travel to Kent to pick hops. There they meet with prejudice from the local people and Bendigo's friendship with Anna, who is there with her family, causes friction between the two clans. The Boswells' practical skills eventually win the respect of their neighbours when they cure an adder bite inflicted upon Anna's sister. This does not prepare us, however, for the unexpected denouement . . . Would suit secondary schools.
