More about the book
The life of William Henry Davies is marked by early struggles, including childhood theft and a longing for adventure. After a series of travels across the U.S. and a life-altering train accident that led to the amputation of his leg, he found guidance in poet Edward Thomas, who helped launch his literary career. Notable works include "The Autobiography of a Super-Tramp," which caught the attention of George Bernard Shaw. His marriage to Helen Matilda Payne, chronicled in "Young Emma," faced challenges, yet he remained a prominent literary figure until his death in 1940.
