At the height of his fame, Mark Twain, the great writer and
humorist from Missouri, was facing financial ruin from one of his
failed business ventures. Broke but much loved he embarked on a
money-raising lecture tour around the equator, making a stop in
Australia. The Wayward Tourist republishes Mark Twain's Australian
travel writing in which he recounts impressions of Sydney ('God
made the Harbor but Satan made Sydney') and his view of Australian
history (' it reads like the most beautiful lies'). In his
introduction, Don Watson brilliantly pays homage to America's
'funny man' who brought his swagger, love of language and wicked
talent for observation to our shores.
