Holden was born in Kings Norton in Worcestershire in 1871, and grew up in a small Warwickshire village with her family. The facsimile reproduction of Edith Holden's naturalist's diary for the year 1906 sold over one million copies in its first year and held the record number of appearances in bestseller lists for 15 years.Elizabeth Holden even includes her own observations along with excerpts of poetry that she associates with the different months.

Lavishly illustrated with Edith Holden's superb watercolour drawings and packed with information on the fauna and flora of over a hundred years ago. The first publication of The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady in 1977 was a publishing phenomenon.Written in 1906, as a record of the stunning natural world around her, Edith Holden’s diary captures the innocence of the Edwardian age.

Edith Holden (1871–1920) was born at Kings Norton, Birmingham, one of seven children of a Midlands paint manufacturer. The 176 pages remain in fresh, clean condition throughout with no inscriptions and are tightly bound. She wrote about the weather, what she witnessed while out on her walks or, simply, she just expressed her feelings. On the prior Monday morning Edith had complained to Ernest of a headache, but this was not uncommon and the matter had not been dwelt on. There were two dents in the top edges of the hard cover, caused I think by the postman shoving it through the letterbox.Etsy’s 100% renewable electricity commitment includes the electricity used by the data centres that host Etsy.
