Dream of leaving it all and running away to live and survive in the wilderness, searching for contentment? This is what one man did. Captured after breaking into just one of the many cottages he used to resupply his frugal existence during two and a half decades; many locals see him as a freeloading trespasser, others as someone who shunned society and lived on his own terms. This book traces the hermit’s story and presents a personal journey that is as complicated as it is fascinating.
