The tale revolves around an old man who recounts his life story and the notable encounters he has had with various people during the long time he spent living on and around a rural estate in colonial Argentina. This book is highly recommend for fans of folklore and short stories and those with an interest in Argentinian history. William Henry Hudson (1841–1922) was an Argentinian ornithologist and nature writer.

W.H. Hudson

William Henry Hudson (1841–1922) was an author and naturalist. Hudson was born in Argentina, the son of English and American parents. There, he studied local plants and animals as a young man, publishing his findings in Proceedings of the Royal Zoological Society, in a mixture of English and Spanish. Hudson’s familiarity with nature was readily evident in later novels such as A Crystal Age and Green Mansions. He later aided the founding of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.
