Summary
This story is actually a daily account of a naturalist's years of observing and writing about zoological and insect life on her estate. It takes place in the late 1890s at The Grove, Stanmore, in England, Mrs. Brightwen's very beautiful and secluded estate. Here, there were woods and shrubberies, a lake, and a large garden that offered a field for Mrs. Brightwen's zoological and insect observations. It was not, however, until her 60th year that she began to be a writer. Mrs. Brightwen became recognized as one of the most popular naturalists of her day. She published more than six books related to wild nature and plant life. Inmates of my House and Garden (1895) is considered to be the best of her books.
