About This Book
A facsimile reproduction of a naturist's diary for the year 1906. Ethel Hordle recorded in words and paintings her affairs and flirtations in the British countryside and playgrounds of Europe through the changing seasons of the year.
Ethel Hordle's words, all carefully written by hand, her favorite poems, mottoes, quotations, as well as her intimate personal thoughts and observations of the wildlife she led at her home in Rake's Bottom at Maiden-under-Mann, and her travels through England, Scotland and the Continent. The charming paintings on every page, which detail her most intimate affairs and reflect her deep love of life, have been executed with a naturalist's eye for flesh and the sensitivity of a sensuous woman.
For seventy years this captivating and unique book has lain undiscovered; it is now being published for the first time in full colour facsimile edition that captures the freshness, charm and beauty of an original creation. --Cover Flap
