<b>A charming addition to Rizzoli’s carefully curated program of bringing classic books back into print.<br></b><br> This beautifully packaged facsimile of Edith Holden’s original diary is filled with a naturalist’s masterful paintings and delightful observations chronicling the English countryside throughout 1906. As one of the few true records of the time in print, the handwritten thoughts and paintings contained in <i>The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady</i> transport readers to a more refined, romantic, and simpler time.<br><br> Capitalizing on the current <i>Downton Abbey</i>–inspired appetite for Edwardian-era ephemera, fashions, and society, this reproduction brings readers back to a time in which propriety, civility, and an appreciation for the natural world reigned. This souvenir of a bygone era serves not only as a calming touchstone, but a reminder that as long as we choose to see it, we are still surrounded by beauty and grace.
