The Country Diary Of An Edwardian Lady - 1984 - 7/10

Lovely adaptation of Edith Holden’s book, which was quite popular a generation earlier.
12 episodes, one per month, this follows the changing seasons, as well as Holden’s life.
Nature fans will embrace the scenery. Topical points also raised (hunting limitations).
Holden herself is something of an enigma.
Pay attention and you will notice her family’s declining fortunes.
Her death was likewise a mystery, although producers offer unsupported hints, which they ought not have.
This series should be better known. Music by Jon Lord.
