About the author
Born in East Dereham, Norfolk, George Borrow (1803–1881) was an English writer, translator, traveler, and philologist. He developed an early passion for languages, including Welsh, Danish, and Romani, and worked for the British and Foreign Bible Society, helping print and distribute scriptures in Russia and Spain.
Borrow became widely known through The Bible in Spain (1843), his lively account of years spent traveling through Spain during a period of political unrest. He later drew on his interest in Romani life and his own experiences for the semi-autobiographical works Lavengro (1851) and The Romany Rye (1857).
His final major book, Wild Wales (1862), grew from extensive journeys on foot and offered a sympathetic portrait of Welsh people, language, literature, and scenery. Borrow’s writing is admired for its energy, unusual structure, vivid characters, and adventurous spirit.
