Books by Maggie Smith-Bendell

Maggie Smith-Bendell describes herself as "privileged to be born in the era of the wagon and horse to good old-fashioned Romani Gypsy parents". She is immensely proud of her heritage and believes it was her early life that made her what she is today, an "activist for my race of Gypsy people". She campaigns tirelessly for the rights of Gypsies to live peacefully in accordance with their culture, and was awarded a British Empire Medal for her work in this area in the 2012 Queen's Birthday Honours list.
