I first got Edith (Holden) Smith’s The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady, asa gift, and then later found this biography to compliment the diary. It’s inspired me to create my own country diary of the animals and flora of the place where I live. Every month I read the month that it is, in her diary which is organized by months. I’m currently up to June. August, watercolor of "Thrush feeding on the berries of the Rowan or Mountain Ash (Pyrus aucuparia)."

The Animal's Friend (four volumes, 1907–1910, the magazine of the National Council for Animals' Welfare) In this beautiful book, Holden ‘recorded in words and paintings the flora and fauna of the British countryside through the changing seasons of the year’. She wrote everything by hand, and this has touchingly been reproduced, along with several original spelling errors. Alongside darling watercolours of the nature which she observed in her local area, Holden recorded fragments of her favourite poems by the likes of Burns, Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Barrett Browning, and personal observations. Included in this volume are recollections from extended family holidays in Scotland and Devon. Most appropriate for a naturalist or gardener from England. Many of the plant names I recognized, but others left me wondering if they might be plants I know by other names. I preferred the entries that included something more than simply a listing.XL Cow Bull balloon, Diary Farm Tractor balloons old mcdonald had a farm wheels bus decor decorations Birthday baby shower

I found it years ago, on a table in front of an old church, at a community garage sale. Edith was born in 1871; she and her two younger sisters, who were also very talented, studied at the prestigious Birmingham School of Art, and were encouraged to follow their interests as much as was possible. For Edith, the choice to study the natural world in her art specialisation was ‘obvious’.

While I am familiar with Edith Holden's "Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady", I never knew much about her life. This book brings in her family history, paintings and illustrations she did for books and magazines, and puts a face to the "Edwardian Lady".

July 21: I went a mile out of my way, down a narrow lane, to search for the spreading Campanula, where it used to grow years ago, but all trace of it had disappeared."What I found so interesting was her introduction of each month and the history of the months name. I hadn't known where the name January came from. Had never even thought about it. Her paintings were exhibited by the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists (1890–1907), and by the Royal Academy of Arts in 1907 and 1917. Before the death of Edith's mother Emma in 1904, the Holden family had become Spiritualists. The Holdens held regular Spiritualist seances at home in Olton, with the intention of communicating with the spirit of their deceased wife and mother. Edith and her four sisters were instrumental in assisting their father with these communications, which culminated in 1913, when Edith's father published them in his own diary, entitled Messages from the Unseen, only weeks before his own death. Oct 14: Walked to Catherine de Barnes to get some Dogwood berries, which I knew were plentiful in the hedges about there. During the 1906–09 school years, Edith Holden taught at the Solihull School for Girls. She fashioned her Nature Notes for 1906 as a model for her students' work. Then, like her younger sisters, Holden became an illustrator. 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. Her paintings were often exhibited from 1890–1907 by the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists, and by the Royal Academy of Arts in 1907 and 1917.
