Format:Hardcover
I am so pleased that this reproduction of Edith Holden's 1906 diary is again in print. Beautifully illustrated with watercolour, it is an actual diary that was discovered after 70 years by her neice, who thought it should be shared and it was first published in 1977.When Edith Holden wrote it, it was entirely personal, although all but a few entries are to do with nature, weather and the changing countryside through the seasons. Entries include poems and exquisite drawings of birds, butterflies, bees and flowers. Reading this book inspired me to visit Kew Gardens, one of the locations she visited on a regular basis. Other locations are in Warwickshire and Scotland.

The author is obviously an excellent artist, and the illustrations that she has made are very good. The texts at the beginning are interesting, though i thought that the actual diary itself, was like most other diaries, a little out of context to boring. Having said that, I think that the book is worth it for the illustrations and the introductions to the months.

This book has been a treasure of my bookshelf since I bought it in the early 1980's. Sadly, printed in my own language, and not in English.. but wonderful authentic thick paper and quality. I really think I must get the English version now.
Just ordered the DVD, since my beloved videofilm are fossiled.. because I love the film too!! As by magic I got it for free, fifteen years ago. It is really lovely! Sometimes I just long to see it.. and with the DVD I can do that again.
GO GO-O-O get it, there are very few available!
I will drop by to comment on this, my review, to tell you if the film is subtitled.
Must say it here too.. Sadly, no subtitles. None!
