A vagrant de Tocqueville gives an eloquent, dry-eyed report of his tramping adventures in the violent underworld of late 19th century America and Britain
"A popular yet idiosyncratic poet, W. H. DAVIES (1871-1940) first came to notice through his self-published volume, The Soul's Destroyer. He was the author of several works of autobiography including Beggars, A Poet's Pilgrimage, and the posthumously published account of his marriage, Young Emma."
"Davies and Kerouac are so similar it's like they have had the same illness. !ey kept searching, longing, moving. . . !ey are mesmerising narrators. . . [Davies's] story has the tension and suspense of a man whose life and soul is in jeopardy." The Times (London)
