The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady by Edith Holden
4.0
I found out about this book while watching one of our favorite youtube channels Sew the Land. I thought it would be perfect to go along with our nature studies at home for my sons whom I homeschool.
Edith Holden would walk, bike, and travel about in search for beautiful nature. She'd write down entries each month of the year of 1906. In these entries she talks about flowers, plants, animals, weather, and includes poems and drawings/paintings of the things she saw. It was so interesting and we learned a lot.
The only tough part about this is that there are sometimes large words I have never heard of in my life and her hand writing at times was not easy for me to read (for the most part she had really beautiful hand writing though).
