Born in Argentina, W. H. Hudson was a late Victorian author, naturalist and ornithologist, best known today for his exotic romances, including his masterpiece ‘Green Mansions’. He also published important works of non-fiction, including a series of books on the English countryside, which due to their imaginative descriptions helped foster the “back-to-nature” movement of the 1920’s and 1930’s. For the first time in publishing history, this e Book presents Hudson’s complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
