Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A Tramp's Sketches is a book written by Stephen Graham and published in 1913. The book is a collection of sketches and stories that offer a glimpse into the life of a tramp in early 20th century England. Graham, who himself had lived as a tramp for several years, writes about the struggles and hardships faced by these wandering souls. He describes the different types of tramps he encountered, from the experienced ""old hands"" to the young and inexperienced ""greenhorns"". Graham also provides vivid descriptions of the landscapes and towns he passed through during his travels, as well as the people he met along the way. The book is both a social commentary on the plight of the homeless in England at the time and a personal memoir of Graham's own experiences as a tramp. It offers a unique perspective on a way of life that is often overlooked in history books.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
