ARNIM ELIZABETH VON THE ENCHANTED APRIL

Elizabeth von Arnim was born on 31 August 1866 in Australia. She was cousin to the writer
Katherine Mansfield. In 1890 she married her first husband  Count Henning August von
Arnim-Schlagenthin  a Prussian aristocrat  with whom she had five children. Elizabeth and her
German Garden   published anonymously in 1898  was a barely fictionalised account of
Elizabeth¿s life and the creation of her garden at the family home of Nassenheide in Pomerania
where Hugh Walpole and E. M. Forster were tutors to her children. Its instant success was
followed by many more novels  including Vera (1921) and The Enchanted April (1922)  and another
almost-autobiography  All the Dogs of My Life (1936). She separated from Count von Arnim in
1908  and after his death two years later she built a house in Switzerland  marrying John
Francis Stanley Russell in 1916. This marriage also ended in separation in 1919 when Elizabeth
moved to America  where she died on 9 February 1941  aged 74.
