The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady
Share
Now, finally, there is a completely re-originated, full-colour, facsimile edition which uses modern technology to recapture all the freshness, charm, and beauty of Edith Holden's original diary. On 1 January 1906, Edith Holden made the first entry in a diary which was to record the countryside through the changing seasons of that year. The words, all carefully written by hand, include her favourite poems, personal thoughts, and her observations on the wildlife surrounding her home in the village of Olton, Warwickshire. The exceptionally beautiful paintings of birds, butterflies, bees and flowers on every page reflect her deep love of nature. They have been executed with a naturalist's eye for detail and the sensitivity of an artist.

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
