Sobre este artículo
London : A. C. Fifield, 1908. First edition. The first appearance of the book which made Davies' name - a tramp by road and rail on both sides of the Atlantic in the late nineteenth century. A work of "primitive splendour and directness" (Osbert Sitwell). "Another effect of this book on me is to make me realize what a slave of convention I have been all my life. When I think of the way I worked tamely for my living during all those years when Mr. Davies, a free knight of the highway, lived like a pet bird on titbits, I feel that I have been duped out of my natural liberty" - from the preface by George Bernard Shaw. Crown 8vo (184 x 113mm). [2],xiv,(296),[viii]pp. Bound in a handsome recent half red morocco, banded and gilt, by Bayntun-Riviere; top edge gilt; marbled endpapers; trimmed a touch tight at head, but otherwise a very good copy in an attractive binding.
