Like the desk diary, this pocket diary is based on the popular book <i>Life in the Country,</i> a celebration of Regency England published by the British Library in 2008. This book has the added advantage of being portable, allowing would-be writers and artists to take it anywhere to record their thoughts, compile a to-do list, sketch their surroundings, or any of a number of other activities -- all in the stimulating presence of the brilliant English writer and her talented nephew.
