Description

William Henry Hudson remembers childhood on the South American pampas among family, neighbours, ombu trees, and animals that taught him how to watch the living world. A usable listening memoir of wonder, hardship, and the habits of attention that shaped a naturalist’s life. Spoken as when far away and long ago still asks what childhood keeps of the land that raised you.

Author

W. H. Hudson (1841–1922) wrote as if the natural world were speaking through him — birds, grasslands, forests, and the human longing to belong among them. Raised in Argentina and long resident in England, he brought New World memory into English nature writing with uncommon freshness.
