About the author
W. H. Hudson was born on August 4, 1841, in Quilmes, Argentina, and became known in Argentina as Guillermo Enrique Hudson. The son of American settlers, he grew up close to the countryside, where his lifelong fascination with birds and wildlife took shape.
After moving to England in 1869, Hudson developed a career as a writer and naturalist. His books include The Purple Land and Far Away and Long Ago, a memoir of his early life in Argentina, as well as influential works on birds and the natural world.
Hudson died in England on August 18, 1922. He is remembered for writing that combines scientific knowledge with vivid descriptions of landscape, animal life, and the freedom of the wild.
