Gardening & Environment Art, Design & Photography Biography & Memoir
The Country Diary Of An Edwardian Lady by Edith Holden offers a charming glimpse into early‑20th‑century garden life, presented as a beautifully illustrated picture book. Holden’s gentle observations of birds, plants and seasonal changes make the diary feel both personal and timeless.
Filled with delicate water‑colour sketches, the book blends art, nature and biography, inviting readers to explore Edwardian horticulture and the simple pleasures of outdoor observation. Its focus on gardening, illustration and everyday wildlife appeals to fans of art & culture and environmental topics alike.
This 2006 hardcover edition from Kudos comes with its original dust jacket and retains all of Holden’s original illustrations. The first three pages show some foxing, but the remainder of the volume is clean and reads well.
Ideal for young adults and adults who love nature, gardening or illustrated memoirs, The Country Diary Of An Edwardian Lady makes a thoughtful addition to any collection of art, biography or leisure reading.
