W. H. Hudson grew up on the pampas of Argentina, a region that remained close to his heart even after he moved to England. In Tales of the Pampas, Hudson draws upon his childhood memories to create these six magical short stories about the landscape, the gauchos, and the area that impressed him for the rest of his life.

W. H. Hudson “rambled” around England for many years; those travels were captured in his delightful narrative Afoot in England. He finally came upon Cornwall, and the visit resulted in the captivating Land’s End, a portrait of the region and the people who live there—and a must-read for anyone passionate about traveling in the United Kingdom.

Hudson’s A Hind in Richmond Park, one of his finest volumes of nature writing.  Brimming with beauty and wisdom, Hudson’s keen observations about plants, trees, insects, birds, and wild beasts continues to enthrall readers passionate about the natural world.
