W. H. Hudson’s 1887 utopian novel, 'A Crystal Age' has been hailed as a significant milestone in the Science Fiction genre credited with the prediction of the 'modern ecological mysticism' a century before it manifested. Originally published anonymously in 1887, Hudson revealed his identity in the second edition in 1906 A fantastic example of early Sci-fi, 'A Crystal Age' is not to be missed by lovers of the genre. William Henry Hudson (1841 - 1922) was an Anglo-Argentine naturalist, author, and ornithologist. He was one of the founding members of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, and is best known for his novel 'Green Mansions' (1904). Other notable works include 'A Little Boy Lost' (1905) and 'Far Away and Long Ago' (1918), which has since been adapted into a film. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
