Hudson: 832 books

Ornithologist and naturalist W. H. Hudson’s Adventures Among Birds is an engaging account of the remarkable behavior he’s observed among birds. Here is a lonely swan who befriends a trout; a gander who herds his fellow geese into a fox-proof enclosure every evening; and a flock of lapwings who playfully splash newcomers to their group.

This collection of essays charmingly captures Hudson’s deep love of nature. Classics of nature writing, essays such as “Life in a Pine Wood,” “The Beauty of the Fox,” “The Discontented Squirrel,” “The Toad as Traveller,” and others are invaluable texts for any nature lover.
