| Summary | "The Autobiography of a Super-Tramp" by W. H. Davies is an autobiographical account written in the early 20th century. The book intricately explores the life of the author as he journeys through various experiences as a tramp, detailing his encounters, thoughts, and observations on life, society, and human behavior. It provides a unique perspective on poverty and freedom, underlined by the author's poetic sensibilities. The opening of the autobiography introduces readers to Davies' early life, which includes vivid recollections of his childhood and formative years spent in a public house owned by his grandfather. He shares amusing anecdotes about family dynamics and his mischievous nature, hinting at a rebellious spirit that would eventually lead him to roam the roads as a tramp. The narrative captures his affinity for adventure and literature, outlining the tension between societal expectations and his yearning for freedom. As he reflects on his upbringing and the influences that shaped him, it becomes clear that Davies' journey will be marked by both physical wanderings and profound personal insights.
