A Crystal Age William Henry Hudson

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.
