| 520 | |a "Kathleen Phelan (nee Newton) was utterly unique; a female vagabond who embraced the freedom of the tramp lifestyle. Unlike the famous women explorers of the Victorian era who traveled with retinues of servents and creature comforts, Kathleen tramped as a single woman adventuring to any place that called to her heart while funding her exploits through impromptu book sales and canny bets on horseracing. In 1944 at age 26, she met and married author and fellow tramp, Jim Phelan who introduced her to his literary circle. She began keeping a journal of their shared exploits and her observations of life on the road. After Jim died in 1966, she broadened her horizons as she spent another 40+ years roaming the world. A real-life "Amélie," Kathleen attracted friends and admirers with whom she corresponded and kept entertained with lively letters. There is only one road and it goes everywhere features Kathleen's captivating travel journal filled with anecdotes of life with husband Jim between 1946 to 1966 and her sojourn taken after his death from 1966 to 1968. This book is the first published collection of Kathleen's writing."--Back cover. | ||
