ABOUT
Biography of John Hamley, a playboy, a hobo, a beachcomber, a seafarer by turns, and his adventures cover half the globe and more than enough experience for a dozen men.
This is a full account of a wild and wandering life, written with much sensitiveness and appreciation of the good things of life, of clean sea and air, of freedom and the sky, as well as of the more earthy attraction of wine, women and song.
At times a carpenter, a lift operator, a painter, a mechanic, even an embalmer, an oyster fisher and a goldminer (and then the list is not half told), John Hamley is forever searching for peace of soul, "tending towards a deep sense of identification with the cosmos which is the reward of the artist."
