W. H. (William Henry) Hudson
1841–1922
Raised on the Argentine pampas and later settled in England, he turned a lifetime of close attention to birds, wild places, and rural life into books that still feel vivid and fresh. He is especially remembered for blending natural history with storytelling in works such as Green Mansions and Far Away and Long Ago.

About the author
Born near Buenos Aires on August 4, 1841, William Henry Hudson grew up in the wide open landscapes of Argentina, an experience that shaped both his imagination and his lifelong love of the natural world. He later moved to England, where he built a reputation as a writer, naturalist, and ornithologist.
His books often bring together careful observation and a strong feeling for place. Alongside fiction, he wrote admired nature books and memoir, and he is commonly associated with works including Green Mansions, Far Away and Long Ago, and The Naturalist in La Plata.
Hudson died in London on August 18, 1922. Readers continue to return to him for his clear, affectionate writing about birds, landscape, and the changing relationship between people and the living world.
