Summary "The Belovéd Vagabond" by William John Locke is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with the introduction of Paragot, a charismatic vagabond who befriends and adopts a young street urchin known as Augustus Smith, later nicknamed Asticot. The novel explores their unique relationship and Paragot's influence on Asticot's life, as he seeks to transform the boy’s outlook through philosophy, art, and education. At the start of the book, the narrator, Augustus, describes his initial encounter with Paragot, detailing how he was brought into the man’s chaotic but vibrant world. Paragot, who is depicted as a free-spirited and eccentric character, offers Augustus not only sustenance and shelter but also the promise of a different life—the pursuit of knowledge and self-discovery. Their relationship develops as Paragot educates Augustus, breaking him free from his impoverished past, while they navigate various whimsical and thought-provoking adventures. The opening sets the tone for a story rich with friendship, mentorship, and the struggles between societal expectations and personal freedom. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
