| Description: | Select Guide Rating A fascinating portrait of country life across the centuries, as told by the nation's greatest diarists. The unique beauty of the British countryside has been celebrated down the ages in music, poetry, and art. It has also been celebrated in countless private diaries. This delightful treasury gathers together the very finest - from Rev Gilbert White''s journal of life at his famous home in Selborne to Beatrix Potter''s holiday diaries from Perthshire. Elsewhere, the thoughts of Dorothy Wordsworth and John Fowles rub shoulders with the words of Queen Victoria, Siegfried Sassoon and Roger Deakin. |
