I am reading a book called Heroes, Villains and Victims of Norwich and one of the chapters is on George Borrow, who I had never heard of. So who was he? He was born in Dereham and was an English writer of novels and of travel based on personal experiences in Europe. His literature provided a detailed accounts of life in 1820s England and 1850s Wales. It is rumoured that he had a knowledge of over 100 languages and was admired for his inspirational work on gypsies.
