The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady

Product Information

I have wanted to read Edith Holden’s The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady for many years now, after seeing some effusive reviews before I had even entered the world of blogging about literature. She watched the sun set with a deep crimson color colour; it appeared to be a "huge fire-balloon suspended against a curtain of grey cloud". I wish I'd had this book back when my daughter was in elementary school and we were doing Charlotte Mason learning. We aim to recover this tradition, to hand craft this exquisite embroidery here, where this tradition began.

Edith Blackwell Holden (1871–1920) was a British artist and part-time art teacher, known in her time as an illustrator of children's books. Holden was made famous by the posthumous publication, in 1977, of her Nature Notes for 1906 under the title The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady.

Its amazingly detailed drawings and paintings of nature are coupled with the author's notes and poetry of the time.

She illustrated four volumes, 1907–10, of The Animal's Friend, a magazine of the National Council for Animals' Welfare, and a number of children's books, including The Three Goats Gruff.
