Book Overview
Hudson was born in the borough of Quilmes, now Florencio Varela of the greater Buenos Aires, in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. He was the son of Daniel Hudson and his wife Catherine n e Kemble, U.S. settlers of English and Irish origin. He spent his youth studying the local flora and fauna and observing both natural and human dramas on what was then a lawless frontier, publishing his ornithological work in Proceedings of the Royal Zoological Society, initially in an English mingled with Spanish idioms. He had a special love of Patagonia. Hudson settled in England during 1874, taking up residence at St Luke's Road in Bayswater. 1] He produced a series of ornithological studies, including Argentine Ornithology (1888-1899) and British Birds (1895), and later achieved fame with his books on the English countryside, including Hampshire Day (1903), Afoot in England (1909) and A Shepherd's Life (1910), which helped foster the back-to-nature movement of the 1920s and 1930s.

It is a book about author`s impressions of that beautiful part of England, called the yorkshire downs. It is a book about nature. About landscape. about the way a place, or a lansdcape can grow inside you, in a way to become an important part of your life. If you like trekking, natural places, and to read about birds, and their migration, wild animals, and old english towns, this book is a must. Nobody has written about nature the way Hudson did it. Rabrindanath Tagore was fond of his books.
