About
In January 1906, a sensitive woman naturalist, nature lover, and accomplished artist began to chronicle all that she encountered while walking and bicycling around the countryside of her native England and neighboring Scotland for an entire year. Besides noting the birds, flowers, grasses, trees, insects, and reptiles she encountered on her country walks, she included poems, folk sayings, saints' days, mottoes, and tidbits of history.

"Vanessa Benjamin uses her soft British voice to decorate the diary's delicate prose…Her delicate voice travels through the seasons, making them seem real by combining her talent with that of each writer, as though they shared the same muse. Although informative, the audiobook's pleasure comes from the richness of the poetic performance."
