Each puzzle comes with a mini poster for use with more than one Puzzler or when assembling the area where the Cobble Hill Puzzle Company logo is situated on the bottom right side of the box.

It also shares a blurb on the Edwardian Lady and the three other puzzles available in this series.

I sorted out all the pieces that appeared to have an edge and then 'weeded' out the pieces that did not fit the border colors  and put them back into the non-edge pile.

The border required looking at the edges on the box image. The random shaped pieces were also helpful.

The image to the right gives a great visual for starting the puzzle.

I started with the largest text pile, in this case the word Autumn so then the second text size was "The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady".

From there I would source out the largest details in the image like the rabbit, birds, berries and outstanding colored flowers.

The rest of the assembly would be putting together many small sections then placing them into the area of the puzzle where they are situated on the image. Eventually areas began to connect. The smallest text was placed into position second last to assist with the connections leaving basically the leaves. So the brown/green/gold/red leaves would prove to be the trickiest to the end.

From Wikipedia: "Edith Blackwell Holden (26 September 1871 – 15 March 1920) was a British artist and art teacher. She was born in Kings Norton, Birmingham.^[1] She became famous following the posthumous publication of her Nature Notes for 1906, in facsimile form, as the book The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady in 1977, which was an enormous publishing success. These, and her life story, were later the subject of a television dramatisation."
