About this product

Product Information

For 70 years, this enchanting and unique volume lay undiscovered until, in 1977, a full-colour facsimile edition was published by Michael Joseph (UK), capturing all the freshness, charm and beauty of the original. It was an instant and lasting international success. The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady is a reproduction of a naturalist's diary for the year 1906. Edith Holden recorded in words and paintings the flora and fauna of the British countryside through the changing seasons. Her words, all carefully written by hand, include her favourite poems, personal thoughts, and observations on the wildlife she saw surrounding her home in Warwickshire and on her travels through England and Scotland.

  • A Beautiful Book

    This is one of the most beautiful books in my library. It is a diary one woman kept of her garden of flowers, berries, butterflies and nature. There is poetry, thoughts, and recipes of the day and comments.. But the most gorgeous offerings are her drawings of all she witnessed in her garden. the drawings are all colored and marked which makes them all the sweeter. This book touches my heart and soul and always has. I somehow feel more complete when I have it by me during every cycle in my own garden.

    Old library book from the 70's original print. Some old book odor, but what do you expect for over 50 years old.
