   No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Met veel, en veelal prachtige aquarellen van ook in Nederland veel voorkomende planten en dieren. Fraai vormgegeven boek. (  ) FransJaspers | Jan 5, 2018 |  I met this lovely book in an antique store in Fort Langley. The watercolours, poems and quotations really attract me a lot. It's an magnificent and beautiful book! ( ) niyizhi | Sep 26, 2012 | I have very fond memories of watching the TV adaptation of this book when I was a child. The illustrations are lovely and the gentle pace makes me wish for times past. (  ) EvaElisabeth | Mar 11, 2011 | This was a very lovely book filled with art and poetry reflective of one year’s seasons and the natural changes that mark them. I began reading this book last January and continued to read in month by month throughout 2009, which put another great dimension in Holden’s reflections of the changing of the seasons as I too was experiencing this. As someone with an amateur interest in nature and an enjoyment of journals, Holden’s year long journal really added to my consciousness of the seasonal changes, which while slightly different in my native Minnesota than in Holden’s Warwickshire still resonated with me.

Naturalist Edith Holden recorded in words and charming paintings of the flora and fauna of the British countryside throughout the changing seasons of the year 1906. Undiscovered for more than 70 years, it was found by her great niece and published in 1977. The book became an instant sensation that spawned spin-offs and merchandise tie-ins, but then went out of print for more than 20 years. This facsimile edition presents Holden's words, all carefully written by hand, including her favourite poems, personal thoughts, and observations on the wildlife she saw surrounding her home in Warwickshire, and on her travels through England and Scotland. In addition, almost every page features Holden's exquisitely beautiful paintings of birds, butterflies, bees, and flowers, all of which reflect her deep love of nature. The paintings, executed with a naturalists' eye for detail, and the sensitive of an artist, and words, composed with a poet's touch, combine to make A Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady a unique view into a world open to few, and singular treasure that can now be appreciated by everyone.
