She has taught children and youth that live a travelling life. There are four different groups she refers to as travellers: Gypsies, Fairground travellers, Circus travellers and New travellers. The New travellers consist of people who for several reasons have chosen a nomadic life as a reaction against modern society. The title of the book indicates that the author writes about all the different groups, however, the primary focus of the book is that of the Gypsy group.
