    About this ebook

    “To read him is to be constantly delighted.” So reads the New York Times review of Afoot in England, W. H. Hudson’s account of his rambles through rural England. In these vignettes, the renowned naturalist shows that he is a keen student of the human being, as well as of the animals and birds he loves so much.

    Author

    W.H. Hudson

    William Henry Hudson (1841–1922) was an author and naturalist. Hudson was born in Argentina, the son of English and American parents. There, he studied local plants and animals as a young man, publishing his findings in Proceedings of the Royal Zoological Society, in a mixture of English and Spanish. Hudson’s familiarity with nature was readily evident in later novels such as A Crystal Age and Green Mansions. He later aided the founding of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.
