imaginative and memorable children's tale

I often think about Kizzy and wish I could watch it again. Even though I cannot remember all the details anymore, I do remember Kizzy had an impact on me. I wanted to live in a gypsy caravan and I loved her name.I remember there was a moral to the tale and it involved a little girls struggle to be accepted by society. It must have appealed to my imagination and sense of drama, I am sure I can remember what Kizzy looked like from 33 years ago and would love to see a picture of her. I was about 9 and I would love to revisit the show and see if it still has a hold on my imagination. I also wish it could be shown again on TV.
