Produktbeschreibung

"A Shepherd's Life" is a 1910 novel by Argentinian naturalist and author William Henry Hudson. It is the story of a shepherd called Caleb Bawcombe whose sheep roam the Wiltshire, Dorset, and Hampshire borders. Through his wanderings, Caleb meets many different people ranging from poachers and gypsies, to farmers and labourers - all of whom are trying to live on the land. A masterful blend of fiction, memoir, reminiscence and oral history, "A Shepherd's Life" is highly recommended for all lovers of the English language. William Henry Hudson (1841 - 1922) was an Argentinian naturalist, author, and ornithologist. He was one of the founding members of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, and is best known for his novel "Green Mansions" (1904). Other notable works include "A Crystal Age" (1887) and "Far Away and Long Ago" (1918), which has since been adapted into a film. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
