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." Copy number 25. Two minor scuffs to the rear board, otherwise Fine in Fine slipcase.
