Shepherd's Life by W H Hudson
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.William Henry Hudson, a former professor of English literature at Stanford University, now works at the University of London's University Extension Board as a staff lecturer in literature. He is the author of a number of books, including An Introduction to the Study of Literature, Rousseau and Naturalism in Life and Thought, An Introduction to Herbert Spencer's Philosophy, and others.
