W. H. Hudson. The Purple Land That England Lost, Travels and Adventures in the Banda Oriental, South America. London: Sampson, Low, Marston, 1885.
Fantastical tales of South American life by the Argentinian-born ornithologist and author W. H. Hudson. A clear precursor of later magical realism.
Hudson is somewhat neglected today but I love this book.
The A. E. Newton copy.
No. 8.
