Vagabonds - Signed

She leads a mutiny, steals the Captain's clothes and whips his naked posterior, but when Charlotte encounters a troupe of actors during the Waikato land Wars, the drama really begins . . .

Vagabonds is an exuberant exploration of aspects of New Zealand's historical past. Lorae Parry takes three real people ? Charlotte Badger, an escaped convict with a colourful past who was New Zealand?s first recorded Pakeha woman, and Mrs Foley and Mrs Swan ? and imagines a series of increasingly outrageous incidents set against the backdrop of the Waikato Land Wars.
