The Book of a Naturalist

by W. H. Hudson

About this book

W. H. Hudson brings together observations of birds, other animals and the landscapes in which they live. His reflections draw on direct encounters, remembered scenes and the habits that reveal themselves to a patient observer.

The essays move between natural history and personal response, considering animal behavior, the experience of the countryside and the relationship between people and wild creatures. This complete edition preserves the original sequence and the author’s concluding pieces.
