A Field Full of Butterflies by Rosemary Penfold
Gypsy tales from the SUNDAY TIMES bestselling author...
'An enchanting story of a lost world, related with charm and good humour' -- Alan Titchmarsh
Penfold's warm-hearted story of growing up in a gypsy wagon is rich with the small daily details - shelling peas, soda-soaking tea towels and lighting the tilley lamp - that made up this tight-knit community. * SAINSBURYS MAGAZINE *
There are no dramatic climaxes in this beautifully written memoir, just a gentle journey through Penfold's childhood that I looked forward to picking up each night ... the most enjoyable thing about this read is that it's a classic coming-of-age story * COSMOPOLITAN.CO.UK *

Rosemary Penfold lives with her husband of 54 years not far from where she grew up, in the heart of Somerset. She has 4 children, 11 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. She is still close to her extended Romany family who meet regularly for family gatherings. Although 'settled', her Romany roots mean she is still a gypsy at heart.
