Rima
Rima, also known as Rima the Jungle Girl, is the fictional heroine of W. H. Hudson's 1904 novel ''Green Mansions: A Romance of the Tropical Forest''. In it, Rima, a primitive girl of the shrinking rain forest of South America, meets Abel, a political fugitive. A movie of ''Green Mansions'' was made in 1959 with Audrey Hepburn as Rima. In 1974, the character, Rima, was adapted into a comic book character and featured in the monthly series ''Rima the Jungle Girl'', published by DC Comics. Though ''Rima the Jungle Girl'' ceased publication in 1975, the comic book version of Rima appeared in several episodes of Hanna-Barbera's popular Saturday morning cartoon series, ''The All-New Superfriends Hour'', between 1977 and 1980.
== Novel ==
Like her literary cousins Tarzan and Mowgli, Rima sprang from an Edwardian adventure novel; in her case, ''Green Mansions: A Romance of the Tropical Forest'', by W. H. Hudson, published in 1904. Hudson was an Argentine-British naturalist who wrote many classic books about the ecology of South America. Hudson based Rima on a South American legend about a lost tribe of white people who lived in the mountains. The book has a religious tone and Rima's speech is poetic.〔(Google Books About page for the 1989 edition. )〕 It is a romantic adventure set in the South American jungle in which a political fugitive named Abel meets Rima, a girl living in the forest.〔(Google Books About Page of the 1943 edition. )〕 Its theme is the loss of wilderness and the return-to-nature dream, and how unpleasant it would be for a savage to meet modern man.〔(Google Books About page of 1916 edition. )〕
