A boy (between the ages of 4 and 12) discovers the natural world around him in his home in the Argentine Pampas and in Buenos Aires. Author Hudson is best known for Green Mansions but is considered by Argentine readers as one of their own, for his “Far and Away…” and many other works highlighting South America. As a budding naturalist, Hudson was given total freedom to discover the wonders of his world. Earnest Hemingway reportedly admired Hudson’s works and even named a character in one of his books after him. This work is filled with discoveries and memorable characters, vividly portrayed. - Summary by John Greenman
