What a find this has been!! It is exactly what it says it is. A lady’s scratch book for a year published. The water colors are so pretty and we are loving the poems and little snippets.
Been a great encouragement to my girls
If you library can get it for you through loan you should check it out!
You can also get The Diary of an Edwardian Country Lady as an eBook. It looks very beautiful on the iPad. Not as nice as holding the real thing I’m sure, but when you can’t find it else where, this is a very nice substitute.
I also just discovered on YouTube a series made in 1984 based on this book. Sorry I don’t know how to add a link for it, but if you search in YouTube I’m sure you will find it 🙂
I just started watching the country diary of an Edwardian LAdy – just wanted to warn that about 8 minutes into the first episode, they hold a seance to “talk to” their dead mother and the mother’s “spirit” comes through one of her daughters to communicate. Not something I would want my children exposed too! I haven’t watched the rest, so maybe that is the only part and could be easily skipped, but I wanted to give everyone a heads up before they sat down with their kids to watch!
I’m so sorry. I should have previewed the YouTube video before mentioning it. I was just excited to see it there.
Has anyone seen more of the episodes? I had the impression Edith Holden was a Christian, so I was surprised to hear about the seance. But maybe I was wrong 🙁
