The principal characters are Abel, Rima, Nuflo, Cla-Cla and Kua-kó. Originally published in 1904 it was turned into a film with Audrey Hepburn in 1959. It is thought that the book sparked the nature conservation movement as it takes place in the stunning untouched forests of South America. A master of natural history writing, W.H. Hudson forms a link between nineteenth-century Romanticism and the twentieth-century ecological movement.* A NEAR VG+ copy with some age and wear reducing it to VG. No dust jacket.*
