About The Author
Elizabeth von Arnim
Elizabeth von Arnim was born in Australia in 1866 and her family moved to England when she was young. Her cousin was Katherine Mansfield, and they exchanged letters and reviewed each other’s work.
Von Arnim married twice and lived in Berlin, Poland, America, France, and Switzerland. In Switzerland, she built a chalet to entertain her circle of literary friends, which included her lover, H. G. Wells.
Her first novel, Elizabeth in Her German Garden, was semi-autobiographical and a huge success upon publication in 1898. The Enchanted April, published in 1922, is her most widely read novel and has been adapted numerous times for stage and screen.
She died of influenza in 1941.
