In 1929, a band of gypsies invaded the North Dakota farm where five-year-old Ione Nettum lived with her family. Though shocking and scary, the encounter left behind something more precious than anything they stole: wanderlust, the desire to move, to travel, and to taste all that life has to offer.

Tales from an Inkslinger: The Memoir of a Maverick, is the story of that life–a life lived both simply and on the road, and a life of romance filled with both grand adventure and simple pleasures.

Looking back on the nine decades of her life, Ione picks and chooses her stories, giving us–her lucky readers–glimpses not only into her life, but into the changes the past century has held.

Even now, with the Internet making the world a smaller and smaller place, her joys and experiences in life as a Wander Vogel (bird of passage), are some most readers can all only dream of matching.
