The present book inevitably draws upon itself comparison with that masterpiece, a comparison from which it emerges with all credit, for it is of the authentic Selborne school, detailing the daily happenings of the countryside with a gusto that communicates itself to the reader, touching on this item and that item with an enthusiasm and insight that brings illumination to the most everyday subject.

All the charm and beauty of the original remains intact in this facsimile, with Holden's carefully handwritten entries: favorite poems, personal thoughts, observations of the wildlife she saw in her native Warwickshire; and remarks on her travels throughout England and Scotland.
