Synopsis
In 1906 Edith Holden wrote her Nature Notes which, when published in 1977 as The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady, captured the imagination of the reading public all over the world. In the Edwardian Lady, Ina Taylor has brought together a unique collection of photographs, paintings and momentoes of the Holden family which tell the story of Edith's life, and the background against which she developed her talents. Brought up in the new and exciting industrial centre of Birmingham in the last years of the Victorian age, the remarkable Holden family participated to the full in the expanding artistic and cultural life of the city where William Morris and Walter Crane were her conetmporaries. The story follows Edith to Scotland, where she studied then to Dartmoor and finally to London, where she carried on her painting and illustrating in Chelsea after her marriage to the sculptor Ernest Smith, and where she lived until her tragic death by drowning in 1920.

Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
