Literary Nonfiction. Biography. History. National Books for Everybody pick (Canada). Never before have as many outrageous and out-sized characters appeared in one place at the same time. Words like rogues, rascals, rapscallions, reprobates and rodomontades don't completely describe these individuals; they are more than each or any combination thereof. They are scalawags. People who claim to push the envelope are stamped, sealed and delivered compared with this bunch.

Some are of the modern era, some go way back, but their lust and spirit link them throughout the ages. This book, like its predecessor, SCALAWAGS: ROGUES, ROUSTABOUTS, WAGS & SCAMPS, is devoted to the celebration of that passion that refuses to be stifled by convention.
