Stephan Williams provides a short biography of William Francis King who was born in England in 1807. He left England and came to Australia in 1829. He was known as The Flying Pieman because of his unusual activities at Circular Quay, where he would offer his pies to the passengers as they boarded the Parramatta steamer. Those he did not sell he would carry out to Parramatta, a distance of 18 miles, and offer to the same passengers as they disembarked. He always dressed in colourful clothes with white stockings and stout shoes on his feet, tight red knee-breeches, open white shirt, blue jacket and a top hat, from which multi-coloured streamers trailed. He carried a staff with more streamers attached. He died in 1873. (Third edition, fully revised). Limited edition of 750 copies.
