One of the most beautiful childhood memoirs ever written. W. H. Hudson grew up wild on the Argentine pampas in the 1840s, a boy on horseback among gauchos, giant thistles, flamingos, and thunderstorms that filled the whole sky. Writing at the end of his life, he summoned it all back with astonishing clarity: the birds he loved first, the strange neighbors, the moment nature claimed him forever. Tender, vivid, and haunted by time, it is his masterpiece. Ride back into a vanished world and a boundless childhood.
