Have you guys ever read Green Mansions by W. H. Hudson? It's a real old book, and kind of strange, but good. . .

Been a while since ive read it, so i pulled up a summary for you:
"Modern classic tells the compelling story of Rima, a strange birdlike girl of the jungle, and Abel, the European who falls in love with her. The book owes much of its popularity to the mystic, near-religious feeling that pervades the story and the beauty of Rima’s halting, poetic expressions. The author’s knowledge and understanding of nature, the jungle and grasslands lend special authenticity to this captivating fantasy."

I also looked up the summary.
Sounds interesting. I'll add it to my "to read" list for the summer. I'm always looking for another author with a great story to tell.
