A Field Full of Butterflies is the collected memories of Rosemary Penfold who was born in a Romany wagon in England, 1938.
This was one of the lovlier books I've read so far this year. And if it hadn't been for the poverty & the racism they dealt with on a daily basis it would have been an ideal childhood.
