Gipsy Smith, His Life and Work, Autobiography by Gipsy Smith and published by Classics.
Although “Gipsy" Rodney Smith never went to school for a day in his life, he influenced the lives of millions of people in the British Isles and North America. Young and old, rich and poor, educated and illiterate regarded him as their friend.
In the introduction he writes “this story of my life is sent forth to the world with a diffidence amounting almost to reluctance on my part, but I have often been urged to tell the tale of my not unromantic career in full, and these persistent requests are my justification for the present volume. I gladly acknowledge the invaluable literary help which I have received from my friend Mr. W. Grinton Berry, M.A., in its preparation. I do not pose as a practical or skilled author, and Mr. Berry’s help has been simply indispensable.”
