Mattia Zoppellaro: Appleby Horse Fair by Mattia Zoppellaro New Book Hardback
NEW Books from UK based family run Booksellers. \nOur hand selected titles are in stock in our warehouse, ready for dispatch in protective packaging.\nThe Appleby\u2019s Horse Fair takes place every year in early June, when 10,000-15,000 English and Welsh Gypsies, Scottish and Irish Travellers gather to buy and sell horses, meet with friends and relations, and celebrate their culture. It is held outside the town, along the river Eden, near to Gallows Hill (named after the public hangings that were once carried out there). Irish Travellers, also called Pavees, are a traditionally itinerant ethnic group who maintain a set of traditions. They are predominantly English speaking, but the origins of this nomadic group are far from known. There are several assumptions that are difficult to verify, given the oral tradition of this people. Some say the Pavees derive from an ancient nomadic people, the Tarish; others say they descend from landowners who have lost their possessions as a re.
