| The Guardian's latest Country Diary, published 12 February 2007. |
100 YEARS OF COUNTRY DIARIES
Paul Evans looks back over more than a century of Britain's longest continuously-running daily newspaper column -- the Guardian Country Diary.
It's idiosyncratic contributors have kept its loyal readers in touch with British wildlife since 1904.
The diary has spanned two world wars, a revolution in agriculture, and it is now entering the era of global warming.
So what can it tell us about changes in British wildlife, and in our attitudes to the countryside? Paul, himself a contributor to the column, talks to contemporary diarists, Mark Cocker from Norfolk, Phil Gates from Durham, and Jim Perrin from Wales as well as hearing from Martin Wainwright, editor of a recent compilation book of the diaries -- A Gleaming Landscape.
