Editorial note: We now know that "Elizabeth and Her German Garden" was
written by Elizabeth von Arnim (1866-1941). Born Mary
Annette Beauchamp in Australia, she grew up in England
and married a German, Count Henning August von
Arnim-Schlagenthin. After the couple moved to his country
estate she began writing children's books. Many of her
early books were published "By the Author of 'Elizabeth
and Her German Garden'," and later she published as
simply "Elizabeth."

"Oft habe ich die Welt durchwandert, und habe immer
gesehen, wie das Grosse am Kleinlichen scheitert, und das
Edle von dem ätzenden Gift des Alltäglichen zerfressen wird."
