This work explores the life and career of George Borrow, with particular attention to his experiences between the late 18th century and early 19th century.

The opening of the book sets the stage for Borrow's intriguing life, starting with the background of his father, Thomas Borrow, and the family's circumstances that shaped George's early years. Jenkins paints a vivid picture of young Borrow's tumultuous upbringing amidst the backdrop of historical events, military life, and his striking duality as both an introverted child and a spirited student.
