The first eighteen years of William Hudson's life were spent on the Argentinean pampas. Although he was a scholarly ornithologist, every page of this book reveals a rapturous delight in the wildlife of the pampas, animal or human. He mixed with cut-throat gauchos, he pursued ostriches, explored lagoons, and allowed burrowing armadillos to drag him elbow-deep into the earth.
Originally published in England in 1910, this story of a shepherd,
Caleb Bawcombe, describes life in the south-central English county
of Wiltshire before the turn of the 20th century. It is a charming
picture of pastoral life that often seems idyllic and simple when
viewed from the present. Caleb Bawcombe is a fictitious name
thought to represent one James Lawes, and the town in the tale,
Winterbourne Bishop, has been identified as the town of Martin.
Friends, family, and acquaintances are interwoven in Caleb's story,
and the interaction between humanity and nature is highlighted,
capturing life at that specific time and place.
Through the story of one man, Caleb Bawcombe, a shepherd whose flocks graze the Wiltshire, Hampshire and Dorset borders, we meet men and women of humble birth - poachers, gypsies, farmers and laborers - striving to survive on the land. As we read, the cumulative affect of their stories becomes much more than a record of rural life. It reads like a lost hymn, sung by people whose lives were disregarded and whose histories are now forgotten. W H Hudson's masterful book, merging fiction, reminiscence, memoir and oral history, was recognized as a classic when it was first published in 1910. It remains so today. First published by Methuen & Co.
