"I hasten to protest at the outset that I have no personal
knowledge of the incorrigible super-tramp who wrote this amazing
book," is how George Bernard Shaw opens his preface. He was
introduced to Davies's writing when he received a volume of poems
through the post and was later instrumental in bringing his work to
the attention of critics and publishers. At the time he wasn't
aware that Davies was a tramp living in a London dosshouse. The
Autobiography of a Super-Tramp chronicles the years between 1893
and 1899 when Davies left his home-town, Newport, and spent time
drifting, begging and taking on seasonal work in America and
Canada.
