George Henry Borrow (1803 – 1881) was an English writer of novels and of travel based on personal experiences in Europe.
His travels gave him a close affinity with the Romani people of Europe, who figure strongly in his work.
His best-known books are The Bible in Spain and the novels Lavengro and The Romany Rye set in his time with the English Romanichal (Gypsies).
