Im totally inlove with this book...it is truley amazing work of art. The water colour pictures the poems and the illustrations are mesmarizing...makes me feel privaliged to own something so close to time gone by in her own words. This book really does inspire and make you really appreciate all the little things that mother nature provides and offers us..to look at its beauty and be in that moment.. I wish i could thank Edith holden for her beautyful writings and drawings. Thank you to Rowena Scott ediths great niece for allowing such a beaut to be published it really does take you back in time. I cannot put the book down this is definatly one to cherish. Thank you to world books for sending out the original published copy with the dust cover.

The book is 2nd hand but you would hardly know it as this has been looked after I had a copy from new but lost it in a flood so glad to be able to get again . I like this as the country side has changed so much over the 100 plus years since this was written, if you like art , poetry and folklore this is for you.

I am going to say the content is compelling ..even though I haven't yet read a word! I bought this charming book for its beautiful month by month illustrations on vellum coloured pages. It stands upright and open on our hall nature table surrounded by seasonal items and plants collected on nature walks. An idea I have seen elsewhere but with this book so exciting to make one's own. I try to choose flora and objects (both faux and actual) to at least partially echo those depicted in the illustrations. For April among other items we had a handmade nest complete with bird. For May we have had bluebells real and faux. Currently on our table, fresh honeysuckle is tucked into faux ivy clambering upwards, over a half hidden fairy engrossed in her book. In conjunction with the idea of a Nature table or small dedicated space, this book makes a memorable gift for you and for others.Read full review

We had a copy this Book and it admired by our Granddaughter in Law so we bought this one for her. We are pleased to say that she was delighted to receive her every own copy. I take one back to a time when so many thinks were different and in someways far less complicated than the life we live today.

This is a very beautiful book, beautifully illustrated seasons of the year. Flowers, animals, birds all hand drawn by the author as well as descriptions. Discovered this book when my daughter started posting feeds on instagram using this book as a guide. I thoroughly recommend buying this book.

Apart from it being an amazing read, this book has graced many of my own hand made journals especially the excellent watercolour illustrations and the poetry both by assorted famous poets and Edith Holden herself.

I’m so surprised. I didn’t expect they can be so wonderful. I’m an international student studying here for a year and I bought the translated version at home and keen to own an antique and original one. These two books are nicely preserved and very carefully packed. I feel so shame that I bid them at such a low price. I love the books. Thank you so much for this beautiful piece of Britain.
