Edith Holden Edith Blackwell Holden (26 September 1871 – 15 March 1920) was a British artist and art teacher. She was born in Kings Norton, Birmingham. She became famous following the posthumous publication of her "Nature Notes for 1906", in facsimile form, as the book "The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady" in 1977, which was an enormous publishing success, frequently given as a gift. These, and her life story, were later the subject of a television dramatisation.
