Elizabeth von Arnim, born Mary Annette Beauchamp in 1866, was an English novelist raised in Australia whose earliest books are set in Germany. Elizabeth and Her German Garden (1898) opens the catalogue, followed by The Solitary Summer (1899), The Adventures of Elizabeth in Rügen (1904) and The Caravaners (1909). Marriage to a German aristocrat made her Countess von Arnim-Schlagenthin; a later marriage to Frank Russell, elder brother of Bertrand Russell, made her Countess Russell, and between them came a three-year affair with H. G. Wells. Katherine Mansfield was her cousin. 26 catalogued titles run to 2022, and von Arnim died in 1941.
