Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Day at Laguerre's and Other Days: Being Nine Sketches
The villainy, strange to say, has only served to open my eyes the wider and my heart too for that matter - and to bring me closer to many fellow tramps who have delighted my soul, and still do.
Idle tramps if you will, who love the sunlight and simple fare and simple ways; ne'er-do-wells, who haunt the cafés and breakfast at twelve; vagrants made millionaires by a melon and a ci garette; mendicants who own a donkey and a pair of panniers, have three feast days a week, earn but half a handful of Copper coin, and sing all day for the very joy of living.
