Australian life has never had a chronicler quite like the Vagabond. Renowned as journalist and ‘eminently unconventional character’, he suffered extremes of poverty and prosperity. These enabled him to record first-hand experiences revealing scandalous situations and the degradation of life in the festering slums of the Victorian era.

The Vagabond Papers is a selection of the Vagabond’s best work, and an explanation of the mysteries of his origins and adventures. The extended edition of this Australian classic will be published in September – edited by journalist, historian and researcher, Michael Cannon. To celebrate the launch of this new edition, subscribers can exclusively enjoy a 30% discount off the retail book price ($34.95), including free postage within Australia.

Exclusively for Age subscribers, Michael shares how the Vagabond influenced his thirst for Australian history and inspired him to seek out the truth. Read the article here.
