AFOOT IN ENGLAND IBD

Sinopse

A beautiful collection of stories and observations picked up by a lifetime of walking among the villages and hamlets of England. Highly recommended for all lovers of nature writing. William Henry Hudson (1841 &ndash, 1922) was an Argentinian naturalist, author, and ornithologist. He was one of the founding members of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, and is best known for his novel &ldquo,Green Mansions&rdquo, (1904). Other notable works include &ldquo,A Little Boy Lost&rdquo, (1905) and &ldquo,Far Away and Long Ago&rdquo, (1918), which has since been adapted into a film. Hudson is considered a national treasure in Argentina, and his legacy lives on in the form of an Italian town and numerous other public places named after him. Contents include: &ldquo,How I Found My Title&rdquo,, &ldquo,The Old Man',s Delusion&rdquo,, &ldquo,As A Tree Falls&rdquo,, &ldquo,A Story Of Long Descent&rdquo,, &ldquo,A Second Story Of Two Brothers&rdquo,, &ldquo,A Third Story Of Two Brothers&rdquo,, &ldquo,The Two White Houses: A Memory&rdquo,, &ldquo,Dandy A Story Of A Dog&rdquo,, &ldquo,The Samphire Gatherer&rdquo,, &ldquo,A Surrey Village&rdquo,, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
