Green Mansions

New York, NY: Pocket Books, 1939. 1st Edition Thus; 1st Printing. Paperback. Mass Market PB. This is a mass market paperback book. The book is in Very Good condition and was issued without a dust jacket. The book covers have some beginning rubbing and wear to the spine ends and corners. The laminate on the book covers has started to pull off in places. The text pages are clean and bright. "His (Hudson's) early books, romances with a South American setting, are weak in characterization but imbued with a brooding sense of nature’s power. Although Hudson’s reputation now rests chiefly on these novels, when published they attracted little attention. The first, The Purple Land that England Lost, 2 vol. (1885) , was followed by several long short stories, collected in 1902 as El Ombú. His last romance, Green Mansions (1904) , is the strange love story of Rima, a mysterious creature of the forest, half bird and half human. Rima, the best known of Hudson’s characters, is the subject of the statue by Jacob Epstein in the bird sanctuary erected in Hudson’s memory in Hyde Park, London, in 1925." (from Britannica). Very Good .
