QR code
"The Autobiography of a Super-Tramp" by W. H. Davies is an autobiography published in 1908. This remarkable firsthand account chronicles Davies' vagrant years traveling across the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States during the 1890s. Living among hardened tramps, Davies experienced life on the road through begging, jail schemes, and riding the rails—until a fateful train-hopping accident changed everything. George Bernard Shaw championed this literary unknown's "primitive splendour," helping bring this
unconventional life story to the world. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
