"Souvenir of the George Borrow Celebration" by James Hooper is a historical account written in the early 20th century.

The book serves as a reflection on Borrow's contributions and legacy, particularly focusing on his connection to Norwich, where he was born. The text provides a comprehensive overview of Borrow's life, tracing his early years, his literary endeavors, and significant relationships, as well as his unique perspective as a traveler and linguist.
