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.
