Cloth, 8vo, 25 cm, xiii,127 pp, 8 pp of plates. From the blurb - "This timely new biography comes when there is a widespread revival of interest in W. H. Hudson, author of the masterpiece A Shepherd's Life and other outstanding books about the English countryside. Here is 'the story of a man who chose to spend his life looking at and thinking about Nature: he did so first to satisfy his own innate desire, and secondly to communicate to others something of the wonder and beauty which he discovered'. Up until now, much of Hudson's life has been shrouded in obscurity. Born on the Argentine Pampas in 1841, he did not come to England until he was thirty-two. Reticent about his private life, Hudson destroyed most of his personal papers and letters before he died in 1922. Fortunately, however, some, which were not in his possession, have been discovered. Dennis Shrubsall has had access to this largely unpublished material, transcribing and editing the letters, which yield some of the most interesting passages in the book. The fact that a high proportion of Hudson's best writing is scattered through many other books apart from his 'classics' is well brought out here. Drawing on an extensive knowledge of all Hudson's work and a deeply felt sympathy for his subject, the author has constructed a natural, well rounded - and refreshingly untheoretical - portrait of a great observer, a great writer and a personality of extraordinary sensitivity and single-mindedness with a completely unforced sense of humour."
