  • Far Away and Long Ago: A History of My Early Life

    William Henry Hudson

    Paperback (Forgotten Books, April 19, 2018)
    Excerpt from Far Away and Long Ago: A History of My Early LifeIt was through falling into some such state as that, during which I had a wonderfully clear and continuous vision of the past, that I was tempted - forced I may say - 40 write this account of my early years. I will relate the occasion, as I imagine that the reader who is a psychologist will find as much to interest him in this incident as in anything else contained in the book.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

  • A Little Boy Lost

    William Henry Hudson

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, Sept. 14, 2016)
    "The story is told with a skill that makes it much more than a tale of weird happenings in a boy's life addressed merely to young people. In fact, only their elders will be able fully to appreciate it and to understand its significance. It is a book that is filled with the spirit of nature that reaches into the hearts of all who are able to commune with her." -Boston Transcript "Like all of Hudson's work, it is exquisite." -The New York Times "Exquisite...Mr Hudson had already written several books which ensured for his name a prominent place in English literature but, undoubtedly, 'The Little Boy Lost' will be his chief claim to fame, for not only is it an excellent literary work, it is a veritable fountain of youth....Little Martin abandons the home of his parents, away in the Great Plain which, by inference, we assume to be the Argentine Pampas - and finds his way to the ocean after going through a series of most interesting adventures....In this respect, 'The Little Boy Lost' reminds us of 'Don Quixote.'" -The Public "A charming tale of wanderings among strange creatures, among the people of the sky and the little people underground; by the blue water, and in the great forest." -Times "No book has so nearly approached the Heart of Beauty since Charles Kingsley gave us 'The Water Babies.'" -Ladies' Field "A fascinating child romance, full of imagination and originality." -World "The poetry of the story and the vivid beauty of its style give it a texture far richer and more lasting than a mere fairy tale. For such a perfect jewel one craves a finer setting; far better let the mind picture the pages than clutter them with crude drawings." -The Nation "Readers of the author's autobiography will recognize in the opening chapters of this book the reflection of his own childhood. The little boy, Martin, lives alone with his parents on the great pampas. His playmates are the domestic animals and the wild horses of the plain. As he grows older, getting to be about seven, he wanders farther and farther from home, discovering new marvels and experiencing new sensations. Then one day he goes so far that he can not return. The adventures that he meets are compounded, the author says, of 'childish impressions and adventures, with a few dreams and fancies thrown in and two or three native legends and myths.' He has tried to put into the story the quality that he missed in the books read in early life, 'the little thrills that nature itself gave me, which half frightened and fascinated me at the same time, the wonder and mystery of it all." -Book Review Digest "It is after the manner of Richard Jefferies. Will stir the imagination." -Yorkshire Post "A charming fancy. Constant in the love of Nature. Full of enchantment." -Morning Post "Will appeal to the exceptionally imaginative child who is responsive to the beauty of nature." -Booklist

  • Green Mansions: A Romance of the Tropical Forest

    William Henry Hudson

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, May 8, 2018)
    Green Mansions: A Romance of the Tropical Forest is an exotic romance by the British-Argentine naturalist William Henry Hudson. The story tells of a traveller to the Guyana jungle of southeastern Venezuela and his encounter with a forest dwelling girl named Rima. As a primary theme, the novel explores the potential damage inherent in contact between European and indigenous cultures......... William Henry Hudson (4 August 1841 – 18 August 1922) was an author, naturalist, and ornithologist. Life and work: Hudson was born in Quilmes, near Buenos Aires, Argentina. He was the son of Daniel Hudson and his wife Catherine nÊe Kemble, United States settlers of English and Irish origin. He spent his youth studying the local flora and fauna and observing both natural and human dramas on what was then a lawless frontier, publishing his ornithological work in Proceedings of the Royal Zoological Society, initially in an English mingled with Spanish idioms. He had a special love of Patagonia. Hudson settled in England during 1874, taking up residence at St Luke's Road in Bayswater. He produced a series of ornithological studies, including Argentine Ornithology (1888–1899) and British Birds (1895), and later achieved fame with his books on the English countryside, including Hampshire Day (1903), Afoot in England (1909) and A Shepherd's Life (1910), which helped foster the back-to-nature movement of the 1920s and 1930s. It was set in Wiltshire and inspired James Rebanks' 2015 book The Shepherd's Life about a Lake District farmer. He was a founding member of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. Hudson's best known novel is Green Mansions (1904), and his best known non-fiction is Far Away and Long Ago (1918), which was made into a film. Ernest Hemingway referred to Hudson's The Purple Land (1885) in his novel The Sun Also Rises, and to Far Away and Long Ago in his posthumous novel The Garden of Eden (1986). In Argentina, Hudson is considered to belong to the national literature as Guillermo Enrique Hudson, the Spanish version of his name. A town in Berazategui Partido and several other public places and institutions are named after him. Towards the end of his life, Hudson moved to Worthing in Sussex, England. His grave is in Broadwater and Worthing Cemetery in Worthing............
