The Zincali - An Account of the Gypsies of Spain is an interesting and valuable book by George Borrow (1803-1881), a gifted linguist who spent five years in Spain as a missionary. Some part of that time he spent in jail because of his activities. George Borrow learned the language of the Zincali (Gypsies or Roma) and began to mix with them to prepare a valuable account of their life, presented in this book.
