The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady was a twelve part TV adaptation about Edith Holden whose nature diary became a best seller. It starred Pippa Guard, Isabelle Amyesa and Brian Rawlinson and was first broadcast by Central Independent Television on 22 February 1984. A DVD is commercially available.
Holden (1871 – 1920) authored her Nature Notes for 1906, published in facsimile form as the book The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady in 1977. These, and her life story, were later the subject of the dramatisation.
