The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady

Product Information

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.

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.

The Animal's Friend (four volumes, 1907–1910, the magazine of the National Council for Animals' Welfare) Travel Journal, Adventure Book for Couples or Graduation Gift, Travel Scrapbook Christmas Gift for Women or Best Friend, Like the format of Ms. Holden's diary, I did not feel rushed. I enjoyed reading her notes from 1906 at random times. Beginning with January, she quoted poetry from her favorite favourite authors. Also, she painted beautiful watercolors watercolours with warm browns, cool blues, muted greens and rich tints of purple. Then, with no rhyme or reason, she opened her 'room with a view' and shared with the reader the happenstances of a particular day. Sometimes it was just a sentence; at other times she included a paragraph. She wrote about the weather, what she witnessed while out on her walks or, simply, she just expressed her feelings. Interesting intro to the late 1800s/early 1900s, the location, and the Holden family. Well-illustrated.

I was absolutely charmed by Edith Holden’s The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady, which were compiled throughout 1906 and not published until 1977. I really wanted to know more about our charming illustrator. I found a biography, The Edwardian Lady: The Story of Edith Holden by Ina Taylor, and was able to request a revised edition, which was dug out from my local library’s country store. Crowds of birds came to be fed this morning. There were great battles among the tits over the cocoa-nut, and once a robin got right into it and refused to let the Tits approach, until he had had all he wanted. I don't think the robins really care for cocoa-nut; but they don't like to see the tits enjoying anything, without claiming a share. 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." 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. urn:lcp:countrydiaryofed0000hold:epub:bb35e452-3773-48ef-b7e9-1fc4ec74fe27 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier countrydiaryofed0000hold Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t3fz8330x Invoice 1652 Isbn 0718115813 Lccn 79301513 //r90 Ocr tesseract 5.0.0-alpha-20201231-10-g1236 Ocr_detected_lang en Ocr_detected_lang_conf 1.0000 Ocr_detected_script Latin Ocr_detected_script_conf 0.9733 Ocr_module_version 0.0.13 Ocr_parameters -l eng Old_pallet IA-NS-2000261 Openlibrary_edition
