First edition of this selection from Enid Wilson’s Country Diary column in the Guardian. Limited edition of 325 copies, this No. 9 of 25 specially bound copies.
From the publisher’s introduction: “Enid Wilson has lived all her life in the Lake District and is uniquely qualified to write the Diaries published here. Her grandfather began his working life as an apprentice to a photographer in Devizes in the 1850’s, from where he went to London, and arrived in the Lake District as a journeyman photographer. His son, and Enid Wilson’s father, was George Abraham, pioneer rock climber, photographer and author; Enid Wilson’s mother was a gifted botanist. From writing her first Diary in 1950, Enid Wilson has contributed regular fortnightly pieces for The Guardian ever since. Edward Stamp and Kathleen Lindsley have each engraved ten illustrations to selected Diaries. Both are artists who work in other media also, but both are members of a new and blooming generation of wood engravers in this country.”

Newly discovered and previously unpublished, these letters were largely written by Lawrence from various excavations in Syria on which he was working between 1909 and 1914, to an archeologist friend at Oxford. Light-hearted and intimate, they provide important information on Lawrence’s early life. J.M. Wilson, Lawrence’s official biographer, has written a full introduction and lengthy notes.(O’Brien A263)
