William Henry Davies was a Welsh poet and writer who spent a significant part of his life as a tramp in the United Kingdom and the United States. After several years of a nomadic existence, he published his first volume of poetry, 'The Soul's Destroyer,' which brought him to the attention of the literary world. His most famous work is 'The Autobiography of a Super-Tramp,' a detailed account of his life on the road, with a preface by George Bernard Shaw. Davies is best remembered for his simple, lyrical poems celebrating nature, human hardship, and the simple joys of life.
