Description
Born in Argentina to Anglo-Irish parents, naturalist William Henry Hudson grew up in a lush wonderland where he learned to love everything about the natural world. When he traveled to England as an adult, Hudson fell in love with that country's flora and fauna. A Shepherd's Life is Hudson's paean of appreciation to England's rural countryside.
