The Country Diary of An Edwardian Lady: A facsimile reproduction of a 1906 naturalist's diary

A facsimile 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 of the year. Edith Holden's words, all carefully written by hand, include her favorite poems, personal thoughts and observations on the wildife she saw surrounding her home in Warwickshire, and on her travels through England and Scotland. The exquisitely beautiful paintings on every page of birds, butterflies, bees and flowers, refect her deep love of nature; they have been executed with a naturalist's eye for detail and the sensitivity of an artist.
