Hudson William Henry
William Henry Hudson (4 August 1841 – 18 August 1922) was an author, naturalist, and ornithologist. Hudson was born in the Quilmes Partido in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, son of settlers of U.S. origin. He spent his youth studying the local flora and fauna and observing both natural and human dramas on what was then a lawless frontier, publishing his ornithological work in Proceedings of the Royal Zoological Society, initially in an English mingled with Spanish idioms. Hudson settled in England during 1869. He produced a series of ornithological studies, including Argentine Ornithology (1888-1899) and British Birds (1895), and later achieved fame with his books on the English countryside, including Hampshire Day (1903), Afoot in England (1909) and A Shepherd's Life (1910), which helped foster the back-to-nature movement of the 1920s and 1930s. He was a founding member of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. Hudson's best known novel is Green Mansions (1904), and his best known non-fiction is Far Away and Long Ago (1918). In Argentina, Hudson is considered to belong to the national literature as Guillermo Enrique Hudson, the Spanish version of his name. A town in Berazategui Partido and several other public places and institutions are named after him. Towards the end of his life, Hudson moved to Worthing in Sussex, England. His grave is in Broadwater and Worthing Cemetery in Worthing.

A Little Boy Lost
- Author: Hudson William Henry
- Genre: British & Irish
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.

Afoot in England
- Author: Hudson William Henry
- Genre: England
Guide-books are so many that it seems probable we have more than any other country--possibly more than all the rest of the universe together. Every county has a little library of its own--guides to its towns, churches, abbeys, castles, rivers, mountains; finally, to the county as a whole. They are of all prices and all sizes, from the diminutive paper-covered booklet, worth a penny, to the stout cloth-bound octavo volume which costs eight or ten or twelve shillings, or to the gigantic folio county history, the huge repository from which the guide-book maker gets his materials.
By William Henry Hudson, an English naturalist, and ornithologist and author, his best-known work being Green Mansions (1904), a romance set in a South American jungle.
