Far Away and Long Ago

A History of My Early Life

W. H. Hudson recounts his childhood and youth on the Argentine pampas in this autobiographical work. Drawing on memories of family life, rural work, local people, and the region's birds and wildlife, he portrays a nineteenth-century South American landscape undergoing social and environmental change. The book combines personal recollection with natural-history observation and reflects on the disappearance of the world of his early years.
