William Henry Hudson was born more than 100 years ago in Argentina of an English father and an American mother. Rather than forcing their son into a conventional mold, Hudson's parents encouraged his love of nature. FAR AWAY AND LONG AGO recalls this idyllic childhood.
The Argentina of Hudson's boyhood was a poor and undeveloped wide open land where nature ruled. From a young age, he recorded his impressions of the countryside, particularly of the remarkable birds, swans, ostrichs, flamingoes and other species now sadly depleted.
"Hudson's work is a vision of natural beauty and of human life as it might be, quickened and sweetened by the sun, and the wind and the rain, and by fellowship with all other forms of life...a very great writer..the most valuable our age has possessed." --John Galsworthy

Far Away and Long Ago: A History of My Early Life
Honestly I do not believe this story deserves such a low rating as three stars. Nonetheless I have given such an appraisal simply because the story was uninteresting to me.
Robert Louis Stevenson's writing is amazing, and flows with something like a poetic air. However, the tale he wove with these words was less than intriguing.
It took me quite awhile to slog through and I dearly hope I do not have to read it again.
