RAGGLE-TAGGLE Adventures with a Fiddle in Hungary and Roumania

€16.00

Walter Starkie's Raggle-Taggle deftly revives the timeless spirit of folk tradition, weaving a tapestry of lively characters and rustic charm. Through vibrant storytelling, Starkie captures the whimsical yet poignant essence of the raggle-taggle—a term evoking a carefree, disorderly band that lives beyond societal bounds. His prose, rich with lyrical cadence and cultural insight, invites readers into a world where the margins of civilization become a stage for freedom and rebellion. Raggle-Taggle is not merely a recounting of tales but an exploration of identity and the human yearning for liberation, rendered with Starkie's characteristic sophistication and deep understanding of narrative folklore.
