About This Item
An ex-library book with call letters still on the spine, this book was gently used. It is a re-production of the 1906 classic by Edith Holden, a well-known naturalist. She was famous for her notebooks, and even illustrated children's books; her family went looking for her after she missed dinner one night, and sadly discovered that she had drowned while walking near the Thames River.
Synopsis
“The first publication of The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady in 1977 was a publishing phenomenon. The facsimile reproduction of Edith Holden’s naturalist’s diary for the year 1906 sold over one million copies in its first year and held the record number of appearances in bestseller lists for 15 years. Now on the 20th anniversary of its publication, we are reissuing the book. Edith Holden’s handwritten works, including her favourite poems, personal thoughts and observations on the wildlife surrounding her Warwickshire home are exquisitely illustrated by beautiful paintings on very page of flora and fauna of the countryside through the seasons.” -from publisher

About The Periscope Collection
The Periscope Collection is an online store physically located in Nashville, TN. The Collection has grown out of my love of all things book-related, and after 30+ years of home schooling. We specialize in old and rare children's books, especially authors such as Tasha Tudor, Robert Lawson, and Marguerite de Angeli. We also focus on early American history, with a particular interest in the Landmark Biographies, the "Book House" series and "The Book of Life." One of our greatest passions is children's historical fiction, from authors like Wilma Pitchford Hays and William O. Steele (a native Tennessean!) and Lois Lenski, from my home state of Connecticut. And for those of you who have a heart for homeschooling, we have collected many books that Charlotte Mason would have called "Living Books": books that reflect the personality of the writer and, unlike a textbook, are not full of what she referred to as "twaddle". Along with Living Books, we also have a selection of Homeschooling helps, from some of homeschooling's wisest veterans. Come browse our Collection and see what you can discover!
