This book is a classic, with black and white photos. He also wrote a book on the gypsies in Spain. I think he was either English or Irish.

Thank you Wondergirl... I lost these books in the 1950's and have been wondering about them ever since. Now I have a chance to replace them.

You're very welcome! I used something called WorldCat and a variety of keywords. You had given me enough clues so I could determine Starkie was the author. It was a fun search! That's what we librarians love to do--to seek and to find!
