William Henry Hudson (4 August 1841 18 August 1922) known in Argentina as Guillermo Enrique Hudson was an Anglo-Argentine author, naturalist and ornithologist. He produced a series of ornithological studies, including Argentine Ornithology (1888 1899) and British Birds (1895), and later achieved fame with his books on the English countryside, including Hampshire Days (1903), Afoot in England (1909) and A Shepherd's Life (1910), which helped foster the back-to-nature movement of the 1920s and 1930s and was set in Wiltshire.
