W.H Davies self-published his first book of poetry, The Soul's Destroyer, in 1905, by means of his own savings. It proved to be the beginning of success and a growing reputation. In order to even get the slim volume published, Davies had to forgo his allowance and live the life of a tramp for six months (with the first draft of the book hidden in his pocket). This is a fine 1910 reprint of The Soul's Destroyer.
