Elizabeth von Arnim’s novel "Elizabeth and Her German Garden" was first published in 1898. Whilst the novel has a strongly autobiographical tone, it is also very humorous and satirical, due to Elizabeth’s frequent mistakes and her idiosyncratic outlook on life. It was instantly popular and has gone through numerous reprints ever since.This story is the main character Elizabeth’s diary, where she relates stories from her life, as she learns to tend to her garden.
She comments on the beauty of nature and shares her view on society, looking down on the frivolous fashions of her time and writing "I believe all needlework and dressmaking is of the devil, designed to keep women from study."The book is the first in a series about the same character.
