Breve biografia
Edith Holden werd op 26 september 1871 in Kings Norton, Worcester, Engeland geboren als een van de zeven kinderen van een Britse verffabrikant. Zij groeide op in het dorpje Olton in Warwickshire. Daar schreef zij haar natuurdagboek, dat zij met aquarellen versierde. Na haar opleiding aan een kunstacademie illustreerde zij vele boeken. Vooral haar dierentekeningen waren zeer succesvol. Later vestigde ze zich in Londen, waar ze Ernest Smith, een beeldhouwer, ontmoette met wie ze in 1911 trouwde. Het paar woonde in Chelsea en bleef kinderloos. Op 6 april 1920 kwam Edith tragisch door verdrinking om het leven. Zij viel bij Kew in de Theems toen zij uitbottende kastanjetakken verzamelde.

I just couldn't get into the drawings of birds and the poems about nature and the naturalist observations. I would have liked more glimpses into what life was like for a lady in England in 1906. The most interesting parts were the explanations of the names of each of the months, which she got out of the encyclopedia; and the sideleaf that described the author's brief life (she dies at 49 by falling into the Thames).
