Far Away and Long Ago: A History of My Early Life (Warbler Classics Annotated Edition)

Far Away and Long Ago is a moving memoir of a vanished world, written by legendary naturalist and writer W. H. Hudson. Lyrical and poignant, Hudson's reminiscences take us on a journey back in time to the lush and untamed landscape of his childhood in the Argentine pampas.

From his earliest memories of the vast and boundless wilderness that surrounded him to his encounters with the people who inhabited the land, Hudson paints a vivid portrait of the natural world, revealing the beauty and complexity of the creatures and landscapes that shaped his life and inspired his writing. Part coming-of-age tale, part love letter to the natural world, Far Away and Long Ago is a timeless classic that continues to charm readers more than a century after its initial publication.

This Warbler Classics edition includes a little-known letter that Hudson wrote expressing his thoughts about Henry David Thoreau and a detailed biographical timeline.
