The Gypsy Girl

When Polly Anna's mother died when she was just three years old it seemed the workhouse was the only place for her to go. But with the help of Jonty - a young misfit who soon became her best friend - she managed to escape running away with the fairground folk. She became a horserider and acrobat travelling all around the country. Her friends became the circus people and her home the caravans and travellers' tents.Meanwhile in a great house in Yorkshire old Mrs Winthrop has never given up hope of finding her daughter Madeleine who eloped with a handsome gypsy and was never seen again. When her young neighbour sets out to find Madeleine he discovers the colourful world of the fairs. And there in the midst of it all Polly Anna - once the waif from the workhouse now a fully-fledged gypsy girl.Previously published as The Romany Girl.
