Over 200 skeches and photographs. Hidden in a drawer for over seventy years, Margaret Shaw's perfectly preserved sketchbook diaries from 1926 to 1928 record in watercolor and prose, the flora and fauna of an almost vanished world. In Shaw's charmed countryside, the eaves swarm with house martins, elm trees still grow tall and hedgerows are everywhere, full of "quarrelsome, noisy wrens."

The author celebrates the intimacies of a rural world in an idyllic setting, but with an eye to modern existence and an appreciation of progress.
