Francis began his life in Rome as a geology student, then a teacher , then had to pursue his taste for adventure and began his travels and work across Australia, New Zealand and the rest of the world.
These books chronicle this life of his, written from a third person's point of view. Yet Francis' voice is unmistakable.
Many themes are touched upon as he recounts his life, but mostly, this is indeed a recounting of his life.
These are just the life and adventures of a man who has lived a very, very exciting life, becoming an almost larger-than-life figure. Something that, if you don't know him personally, you might think is a product of fiction. And yet, it really is not.
