Centuries ago, the English countryside nature notes

In July, the "7th ride through weideni Noel. Now hedges and wild flowers are round and filled. Briar drive, FL dogs early rose and white flowers of the fields later rose in full bloom. Some hedges hung black diarrhea as the decorations and Garland vines Lonicera syringantha maxim. Pale pink BlackBerry flowers Sambucus nigra flower and high white sultry eyes. Hedges are tall purple Foxglove; and head of weeds, pockets of heavy pollen, all wound around the purple yellow vetch and clover flowered, climbing up along the embankment and into the hedge. Weideni moorland really forget large blue flowers, cream of spiraea along canals lined. I saw a bunch of little green moths around the summer oak flutter, the tree in the spring would be ruined by their larvae have no way; in addition, also see many nettles Vanessa and rough wood nymphs. In a kind of wheat crops across a large opium poppy, big red violet purple flowers on green leaves like splashes of color. Received a flower beautiful Bai Shuilian from Packwood House pond. "The most special thing this book is printed with ink.

Us and Britain across the mountains, across the sea, but does not have such a big gap between us and nature. The author is not a famous writer, not a painter, appears in the book of wood bird pests are not exotic, but unusual flowers in the countryside. It is this unusual, so we especially love this book. The countryside, sometimes on foot, sometimes on a piece of paper, "boy, what Mo Xuefu poem? 
…… Knowledge in the name of birds and animals, plants ". The English original is handwritten, translated script, Chinese calligraphy is no fine, but neat and clean, like from the "my deskmate for you," a hand, get used to cold print readers enjoy an extra warm. Text by two part composition: part is author wrote of diary, its style from above of quotes visible as evidenced by, calm elegant, as Tao, let people only wants to repeatedly aftertaste, didn't want to more do a sentence comments; another part is author quotes of British poems, or whole first or fragment, some poems is beauty, also some is General, however are fit quotes of purpose, that depicting corresponding of season and the natural. Another highlight of the book, it is equipped with a stunning watercolor illustrations are all derived from the authors handwriting, plants, pest birds, fine reflects the author's observation, professional painting skills-she is a children's book illustrator--as well as the kindness of nature, these are all amazing and breathtaking.

According to the translator's introduction, the author yidisi·huoerdeng is the United Kingdom a village female teacher of the Edwardian. Author pages within the book black and white photo frame, when Christina, face Gaunt, looked firm and resolute, serious, closer, may wish to bring a smile on her lips. I was gazing at the picture, but can't imagine how she is riding through the United Kingdom country, is how to take a walk in the Woods, always leaning over to observe Huang Shuilian, convolvulus arvensis, Brome, how carefully close European thrush or grey-throated Warbler's nest.

This book was a diary, not written for publication, the author's love of nature, her serene simplicity of nature, without a shred of artificial, pure nature such as a leaf or a bird. Considering that it's writing time is the eve of the first world war, published in 1977, Britons has lived through two world wars, "Holden wrote 70 years ago the United Kingdom country has monopoly at the Taoyuan free to find" (translation of PostScript), pardonable publication.
