For 70 years, her enchanting journal lay undiscovered--until 1977, when it was first published with great success (as any bookseller will recall). Now, it is back in print, ours to treasure once again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll the charm and beauty of the original remains intact in this facsimile, with Holden's carefully handwritten entries: favorite poems, personal thoughts, observations of the wildlife she saw in her native Warwickshire; and remarks on her travels throughout England and Scotland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn every page, her exquisitely rendered paintings--executed with a naturalist's eye for detail and an artist's sensitivity and skill--capture birds perched on branches, their mouths open in song; a tiny shrew mouse, sniffing the air; delicate butterflies and slithering snakes; fluttering leaves; and an array of flowers, from pink foxgloves and trailing roses to yellow water lilies. And, each spellbinding picture reflects her deep love of nature. Surely a beloved classic for a new generation of book buyers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edith Holden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46047831589033,"sku":"9781846660146","price":19.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0424\/9518\/0962\/files\/9781846660146.jpg?v=1751786246","url":"https:\/\/roseyravelstonbooks.com.au\/products\/the-country-diary-of-an-edwardian-lady","provider":"RoseyRavelston Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
