Ever wonder how to poach pheasants, cook a hedgehog or speak Romani? This remarkable book is a priceless insight into life on the road in 1903, a golden age of vagabonding in England. If you've read Jack London's 'People of the Abyss' you'll enjoy this perspective from an insider of that world. Through his 'how-to' guide, Roberts argues for the inner peace and dignity that may be found on the road. And much of the information is still practical today.
