A Vendor of Dreams

Edward William Dirom Cuming

4.9/5 (21698 ratings)

Description:E.D. Cuming in "A Vendor of Dreams" (Hutchinson) has written a very promising from novel. something original and thought-provoking. The theme centres around Noel James, a man of queer notions and good-natured vagaries, who forsakes his wealthy wife and the conventions of the rich, and adopts for the time a life of tramping and vagabondage in English county villages. In Australia in earlier years the life was known as "sundowning." But Noel James had very definite and sincere ideas on the subject of tramping, and when he finally came back to his wife, and home, it was that he might become the chief of the Refuge of Vagabonds, and so inculcate his doctrines against begging when the tramp might have the choice of several odd jobs to do. The idea of a gentleman tramp, with ideals of its etiquette, might sound somewhat far-fetched; but after all it was the life in which George Borrow revelled, and a few years ago the same kind of man was not unknown in Australia, probably the most notable of them being Philip Lorimer, the swagman poet. At all events the author has provided readers with a fresh and interesting subject.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
