Abstract
MR. HUDSON would probably think it a doubtful compliment if we were to say that his last book is as good as either of the two which preceded it. But to say that “Birds in a Village” is not equal to “Idle Days in Patagonia,” and not to be mentioned in the same breath as the charming “Naturalist in La Plata,” by no means implies that it is other than a pleasantly readable book, with here and there—more particularly in the chapter which gives the title—graphic sketches of the habits of the birds he watched in his ideal country village, such as only a close and loving observer of Nature, and a practised writer, can give.
Birds in a Village.
By W. H. Hudson, author of “Idle Days in Patagonia,” “The Naturalist in La Plata,” &c. (London: Chapman and Hall, Limited, 1893.)
