Martin lives with his parents in a lonely house on a vast grassy plain, much like the Argentine pampas where Hudson grew up. Chasing a spoonbill, a cloud and then a flying figure, he strays far from home and keeps going, meeting the people of the mirage, a troop of wild horses, a mysterious Lady of the Hills and the little people underground.
A dreamlike children’s fantasy steeped in the naturalist’s own memories of the wild South American plains. Download the free EPUB.
