Lavengro: The Scholar, the Gypsy, the Priest (1851) is a work by George Borrow, falling somewhere between the genres of memoir and novel, which has long been considered a classic of 19th-century English literature. According to the author, lav-engro is a Romany word meaning "word master". The historian G. M. Trevelyan called it "a book that breathes the spirit of that period of strong and eccentric characters".

Its protagonist, whose name is George, is born the son of an officer in a militia regiment and is brought up in various barrack towns in England, Scotland and Ireland. After serving an apprenticeship to a lawyer he moves to London and becomes a Grub Street hack, an occupation which gives him ample opportunities to observe London low-life. Finally he takes to the road as a tinker. At various points through the book he associates with Romany travellers, of whom he gives memorable and generally sympathetic pen-portraits. Lavengro was followed by a sequel, The Romany Rye. However, neither of the two books are self-contained. Rather, Lavengro ends abruptly with chapter 100, and carries on directly in The Romany Rye. Thus, both need to be read together, in order.

No More Manual Twisting of the Grinders!
Color: 2-Speed Silver, Size: Rechargeable
This is my first time trying this type of product and initially I was a bit skeptical they would be helpful but after using for some time, I find I really like them! I love freshly cracked pepper and salt, but the twisting of the manual grinders was becoming tiresome. This set holds a good amount of peppercorns and the batteries seem to last long. Very easy to use if you learn to pick up without touching the buttons. These do the trick! Great product!

Stopped charging one month later.
Color: 2-Speed Silver, Size: Rechargeable
It was great even though it grinds very coarse. It can be adjusted but the finer is still too coarse but that was not a big deal. It has now stopped taking charge at the base and there’s no other way to charge it… since the return window closed, to the trash it goes

Works Very Well
Color: 2-Speed Silver, Size: Rechargeable
At first salt spilled from bottom and top was loose. I then realized there was an adjustment on bottom that took care of that issue and if I put top on until it clicked, it locked. They work very nicely and I would recommend them.

Convenient set with charging stand and light
Color: 2-Speed Silver, Size: Rechargeable
Recommend for anyone who cooks and wants fresh seasoning with less hassle. The built-in light on the bottom was a pleasant surprise and ends up being genuinely useful. It helps you see exactly where the seasoning is going and how much you’re dispensing, especially when you’re cooking in the evening or working over darker foods. That small detail makes the set feel more practical than a basic grinder.
