At one level an escapist fantasy, at another a parable about the liberation of the spirit, this delicious confection will work its magic on all.' 'The Daily Telegraph
Elizabeth von Arnim was born in Australia in 1866. In 1894 she and her first husband moved to Nassenheide which was wittily encapsulated in her most famous novel, Elizabeth and her German Garden. She was described by Alice Meynell as 'one of the three finest wits of her day'.
An enchanting novel, witty, touching and very perceptively written,
which will sweep you into wisteria and sunshine
*Santa Montefiore*
Filled with hazy hills and fragrant flora, the novel is a dreamily
sensuous description of the glories of Italian spring
*Mail on Sunday*
Elizabeth von Armin's most charming novel in every sense: it casts
a spell...a sun-washed fairytale
*Observer*
At one level an escapist fantasy, at another a parable about the
liberation of the spirit, this delicious confection will work its
magic on all.
