The country diary of an Edwardian lady: A facsimile reproduction of a naturalist's diary for the year 1906

It's a lovely book. It got here on time and was in very good condition. I was just a bit disappointed because the description I got from someone on YouTube was not accurate. It was not what I expected. It is, however, a very lovely book with lots of beautiful illustrations, and her notes and her own poetry.

Beautiful illustrations and her own lovely notes. I love it so much I’m buy another for a special gift to a special friend. This book touches my heart. It is a work of art through observation and fascination. No regrets! Recommended!

Anyone who is involved with journals will love this beautifully written and beautiful botanical pages. 10 stars!

Lovely book but pages were missing photos

A wonderful book.

This is an amazing book. Miss Holden’s writing and watercolors are amazing. Shipping was fast as always and packing of the book is exceptional.

I had some of the stationary years ago, and didn't realize until I was at a second hand booksale the other day that the artwork was from a book. What a treasure of drawings! And how wonderful to think that someone a)saved it and b) had the courage to reprint it exactly as it was, handwriting and all. Worth it just for the artwork, plus you get a view into the world of the women of that time. Having just seen the film "Miss Potter" and how hard it was for a woman to be taken seriously as an artist in England, this book is a delight to find.

edith holden weaves a marvelous spell with her beautiful watercolor paintings, her daily wonderment at the flora and fauna she observes, and her quotations of poetry to accompany every month. the poetry reflects both the physical world and all that it represents to the human spirit that beholds it. a lovely gift for a thinking woman, especially (but not necessarily) one who loves her garden.

I purchased this book as part of our home school lesson. I wanted to teach the children about nature journaling. We live in a fabulous area with many of opportunities to observe nature. The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady looks exactly as she had written it, beautiful drawings with proper name labels as well as her observances of the mother nature.This was a joy to look through and read. Very inspirational and it goes well with my growing collection of Edwardian, Georgian and Victorian books.

Magnificent! Beutiful! A piece of art
