Whistlers' Van is a 1936 children's novel written by Idwal Jones and illustrated by Zhenya Gay. Set in post-World War I rural Wales, it tells the story of a young farmboy, Gwilym, who spends one summer traveling with the gypsies.[1] The novel was a Newbery Honor recipient in 1937.[2] Kirkus Reviews called the book "sheer enchantment",[3] and the New York Times review called it a "distinguished book" that "will appeal [...] to readers of any age".[4]
