By the author of the beloved "Enchanted April," Elizabeth von Arnim. "'Away with you!' I cried, 'Away with you, symbol of conventionality, of slavery, of pandering to a desire to please-away with you, miserable little lace-edged rag!' And so young had I grown within the last few minutes that I did not even feel silly."

From the Publisher:
"May 7th--There were days last winter when I danced for sheer joy out in my frost-bound garden in spite of my years and children. But I did it behind a bush, having due regard for the decencies..." Elizabeth's uniquely witty pen records each season in her beloved garden, where she escapes from the stifling routine of indoors: from servants, meals, domestic routine--and the presence of her overbearing husband. In her introduction, Elizabeth Jane Howard observes: "Elizabeth von Arnim went on to write some very good novels, but "Elizabeth and Her German Garden," its more rhapsodic passages nicely balanced by her acute and sometimes very funny perceptions about her family and friends, has a freshness, a freakish charm, an irrepressible energy that springs straight from the very source of her personality."
