"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 military barracks to London's underworld to life as a wandering tinker, the book offers vivid portraits of Romany travelers and English society's margins.
