From 1896 the von Arnims lived at Nassenheide in the Pomeranian countryside where Elizabeth took refuge from her household cares in her much-loved garden. Elizabeth and her German Garden was her first novel, written in 1898, and is semi-autobiographical.

It is written in the form of a year’s dairy with much attention paid to the changing seasons in the garden – ‘Oh, I could dance and sing for joy that the spring is here! What a resurrection of beauty there is in my garden, and of brightest hope…

“A witty tale about…finding liberation from a stifling world of elitism through gardening. It was a risky tale for its time, and still feels modern on both love and the garden.” —The Guardian “The book was a wild success and by 1899 it had run through twenty-one editions.” —The Independent Elizabeth von Arnim’s vivid, humorous, and subtly subversive Elizabeth and her German Garden is one of the great garden memoirs of all time. As the wife of a stern German aristocrat and mother of young children, the irreverent narrator of this engrossing memoir escapes the societal norms and constrictions of late nineteenth-century patriarchy by…

Роман впервые был опубликован в 1898 году. Он был очень популярен и часто переиздавался в первые годы 20 века. К маю 1899 г. он был переиздан 21 раз. Он примечателен тем, что изначально был опубликован без имени автора. Фон Арним настаивала на том, чтобы она оставалась анонимной, потому что она утверждала, что ее муж, немецкий аристократ граф Хеннинг Август фон Арним-Шлагентин, которого она высмеивает в книге, счел бы неприемлемым, чтобы его жена писала коммерческие романы.

Taking respite from the Man of Wrath, her children and her stifling household, Elizabeth discovers that the path to joy lies in having a garden, rather than a room, of one's own.

"Der Gärtner ist seit einem Jahr hier und hat mir regelmäßig gekündigt, bis jetzt ist er aber zum Bleiben bewegt worden. Ich glaube nicht, daß er viel vom Gärtnern versteht, zumindest aber kann er graben und gießen." Also muß Elizabeth selbst Hand anlegen und den verwilderten Garten auf dem Landgut ihres Mannes in Schuß bringen. Der Zauber der Natur wird für sie zum Lebenselixier. Mit spitzer Feder und britischem Humor beschreibt die junge Frau alle Eindringlinge in ihr Idyll: den "Grimmigen" (ihren Mann), eine "beste" Freundin mit ihren "guten" Ratschlägen und eine Engländerin, die offenbar gar nichts nach Hause zieht ...

Indoors are servants, meals, and furniture. There, too, is The Man of Wrath, her upright Teutonic husband, inspiring in Elizabeth a mixture of irritation, affection, and irreverence. But outside she can escape domestic routine, read favorite books, play with her three babies and garden to her heart's content. Through Elizabeth's eyes we watch the seasons, from May's "oasis of bird-cherries and greenery" to the time when "snow carpets her Pomeranian wilderness". And each season brings with it new events as friends and neighbors come and go, all wonderfully recorded with Elizabeth's uniquely witty pen.
