Transcribed from the 1913 Henry Young and Sons edition by David Price "Gypsy Coppersmiths in Liverpool and Birkenhead" by R. A. Scott Macfie is a historical account published in the early 20th century. This book explores the lives and culture of a group of Gypsy coppersmiths who settled in Liverpool and Birkenhead, focusing on their unique traditions, skills, and interactions with the local society. The narrative captures the intricacies of their lifestyle, shedding light on the mixture of their vibrant culture within the urban landscape of early 1900s England. Throughout the book, Macfie introduces readers to the central figure of Kola, the chief of the Gypsy tribe, along with a colorful collection of characters including his family and fellow coppersmiths. Through detailed depictions of their daily activities, such as mending copper pots and participating in their own form of commerce, the author highlights both their craftsmanship and their unconventional lifestyle. The narrative also delves into the social dynamics within the Gypsy community, including their meetings, ceremonies, and familial bonds, thereby providing a window into a lesser-known aspect of British society during this time period.
