Opis: Life and Letters (Classic Reprint) - Squire J. .C.

Excerpt from Life and Letters

Mr. W. H. Hudson is known to many - though not as many as he should be - as one of the closest and most affectionate living students of birds and beasts, and at the same time as the possessor of a simple and excellent English style. A Shepherd's Life and the studies of wild life at the Land's End and in La Plata have frequently been described as the nearest things we have to the work of Richard Jefferies, and the description is justified. Mr. Hudson has now, in a book boldly entitled Far Away and Long Ago, written a history of his early years. A succession of old scenes came back to him very clearly during a convalescence, and he wrote them down while they were fresh. He has made with them his best book.

For a book of the kind, it is very diversified. The tone is not varied, the writing glides smoothly on, and the details, whatever their nature, are harmonised and made coherent by that golden atmosphere, that even transparent glaze rather, that gives kinship to all things remembered from childhood.
