Synopsis

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.
