153 Letters From W H Hudson Edited And With An Introduction And Explanatory Notes

First published in 1923, this volume contains 153 Letters written by W. H. Hudson. The letters were written to the author of this book, Edward Garnett, a literary critic whom Hudson would meet most Tuesdays to discuss all things written. Also in their little weekly club were such writers as Hilaire Belloc, Perceval Gibbon, Joseph Conrad, and others. William Henry Hudson (4 August 1841 - 18 August 1922) was an ornithologist, author, naturalist, and founding member of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. Other notable works by this author include: "A Crystal Age" (1887), "Argentine Ornithology" (1888), and "Lost British Birds" (1894). This volume will very much appeal to those with an interest in the life and mind of W. H. Hudson, and it is not to be missed by collectors of vintage literature of this ilk. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction.
