Elizabeth and Her German Garden (Warbler Classics Annotated Edition)

<p class=ql-align-justify>Elizabeth von Arnim's vivid humorous and subtly subversive <em>Elizabeth and her German Garden</em> 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 becoming an enthusiastic amateur gardener. As she grapples with the expectations placed on her as a woman wife and mother Elizabeth's joyfully valiant commitment to gardening transcends the task at hand and affords her a level of independence that has inspired generations of devoted readers.</p><p><br></p>
