Publisher's Synopsis
Published anonymously in 1898, 'Elizabeth and her German Garden' was an instant best seller. The story, of a young woman finding solace in a wild and untamed estate garden, reflected the real life of its author Mary Beauchamp, a free spirited young socialite suddenly removed to the stifling parlours of Prussian society upon her early marriage to Count Von Arnim. This biography rediscovers this forgotten author who came to be known as Elizabeth von Arnim.
