Edith Holden Libri

This predecessor to the "Country Diary" is composed in a similar style with Edith Holden's thoughts, watercolours, paintings of flowers, plants, birds and butterflies. There are over 150 new paintings showing delightful countryside scenes.

This new edition of the international best-seller, The country diary of an Edwardian lady, celebrates the centenary of the original book written in 1906. Recording in words and paintings the flora and fauna of the British countryside, Edith Holden's diary has become a unique tribute to the diversity of nature through the seasons.

On 1st January 1906, Edith Holden made the first entry in a diary which was to record the countryside through the changing seasons of that year. It was initially written to encourage her pupils at Solihull school to learn more about nature.

A perpetual calendar-style book illustrated with the enchanting watercolors from Edith Holden's bestselling Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady.

Holden, Edith s The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady, and The Nature Notes of an Edwardian Lady have been a marketing sensation in Europe persisting throughout the years as a perennial bestseller in the gift and book markets in the form of stationery, address books, craft books, and calendars. We are very pleased to be the first U.S. publisher to offer Ediths timeless watercolors.
