Kent Romanies feature in my new novel Kitty Pemberton, available on Amazon very soon. The novel is set in 1830. This film was made 100 years later but I suspect much of the lifestyle and the prejudice they faced was the same.

Very interesting! A return to old school serial writing. Rushdie joins a tradition stretching back to Conan Doyle, Dickens and beyond. And the writer can earn money if they build a following. If this takes off, it will complement not replace print publishing. Most importantly it will give more control to the writer. I'm sure there must be some cons, however.

It was a life-and-death dilemma facing the folk of Kent in 1941 as the N**is invaded. What to do? Run, hide, collaborate or fight.
