GEORGE BORROW

Lavengro

      George Henry Borrow was born at East Dereham, Norfolk,
     England, July 5, 1803.  His father was an army captain, and
     Borrow’s boyhood was spent at military stations in various
     parts of the kingdom.  From his earliest youth he had a taste
     for roving and fraternising with gipsies and other vagrants. 
     In 1819 he entered a solicitor’s office at Norwich.  After a
     long spell of drudgery and literary effort, he went to London
     in 1824, but left a year later, and for some time afterwards
     his movements were obscure.  For a period of about five years,
     beginning 1835, he acted as the Bible Society’s agent, selling
     and distributing Bibles in Spain, and in 1842 he published
     “The Bible in Spain.” which appears in another volume of the
     world’s greatest books. (See travel and adventure.)
     “Lavengro,” written in 1851, enhanced the fame which Borrow
     had already secured by his earlier works.  The book teems with
     character sketches drawn
