The Tarmac and the Trees by Dominic Reeve
Seasoned Traveller, Dominic Reeve, writer of many acclaimed books on the Travellers' way of life - as it is, not romanticised - here tells us of the period when Travellers were more or less universally changing from the horse drawn waggon to the age of the lorry and trailer (caravan). The book has the added interest of giving us a glimpse into the private life of the great painter and Romani Rai, Augustus John, of whom the author was a friend. Reeves' wife Beshlie - who illustrates this book - was a frequent (and the last) model for the renowned painter.
Dominic Reeve wrote Smoke in the Lanes, his first book, in 1958. Since then he has written four more books including Beneath the Blue Sky: Four Decades of the Gypsy Traveller Life. He lives and works in a semi-nomadic style with his partner, Beshlie, an illustrator.
