William Henry Hudson ( August 4 , 1841 - August 18 , 1922 ) was an Argentine - British author, Naturalist and Ornithologist . Hudson was born of U.S. parents living in Argentina. He spent his youth studying the local Flora and Fauna and observing both natural and human dramas on what was then a lawless frontier. He settled in England in 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 Days '' ( 1903 ) and '' Afoot In England '' (1909), which helped foster the back-to-nature movement of the 1920s and 1930s . He was a founder member of the Royal Society For The Protection Of Birds . His best known novel is '' Green Mansions '' ( 1904 ), and his best known and loved non-fiction is ''Far Away and Long Ago'' (1931). In Argentina he is considered to belong to the national literature as ''Guillermo Enrique Hudson'', the Spanish translation of his name. A town in Berazategui Partido and several other public places and institutions are named after him. WORKS
