This story, written in 1905 by an English author living in Argentina, is a fantastic choice for anyone who still sees the world with a child's eyes. It is amazing to find a true naturist atmosphere in the tale, which is the respect of all living forms, absolute trust in the goodness of people, the full skin contact with nature. The fact that the little boy finds himself without clothes for many days in the wilderness or meeting other people, and doesn't think about its lack anymore, is equally refreshing for today's reader. It is a true chef d'oeuvre which every family must read to their children.
