Description
Step into the extraordinary life of Herbert Badgery, a man who embodies the spirit of an 'illywhacker'—a charming trickster and purveyor of dreams across a vast continent and a century. From dusty country fairs to grand adventures, Herbert spins a tale of audacious schemes, outlandish encounters, and unforgettable characters. This picaresque masterpiece is a vibrant exploration of truth, deception, and the enduring power of storytelling, all delivered with Peter Carey's signature wit and boundless imagination.
