Description A highly collectible first edition of W.H. Hudson’s A Hind in Richmond Park, published in 1922 by J.M. Dent & Sons. This work features the distinctive prose for which Hudson is known, blending reflections on nature with his observations of animal life, philosophy, and spirituality. The preface notes the book was finalized posthumously by an acquaintance who worked to arrange Hudson’s notes into a cohesive volume, adding a layer of historical and personal significance. Bound in its original green cloth with black-stamped decorative elements, this copy remains a striking example of early 20th-century book design. The included dust jacket, though lightly worn, is exceptionally rare for this title and enhances the overall value. The prefatory note, included in one of the photographs, details the circumstances under which Hudson’s final writings were edited for publication, offering bibliophiles and collectors unique insight into the posthumous completion of his work. The appendix and table of contents were examined, and all pages appear present and in sequence. This volume was previously listed in a Glenn Books catalog (image provided), verifying its provenance as a cataloged collectible copy. Shipping & Notes Ships promptly and will be packaged securely to ensure safe arrival. No marks, tears, or writing are present in the text block unless otherwise noted. Additional Information This book would make an excellent addition to any collection of naturalist literature or as a highlight in a library focusing on Hudson’s contributions to English literature.
