Synopses & Reviews
As W. H. Hudson lay sick in bed in England when he was nearly eighty years old, his entire childhood returned to him so vividly that he could write in exact detail about these long-forgotten memories - starting with his earliest memories of the house in which he was born and finishing with the disastrous close of his childhood idyll at age fifteen when typhus struck.Far Away and Long Ago is told with such passion and candor that the grassy plains of Argentina, the gauchos, the birds and wildlife emerge from the pages. Not only great natural history, Far Away and Long ago is one of the most magical childhood memoirs ever written. (5 1/2 X 8 1/4, 352 pages)
