Elizabeth and Her German Garden and A Solitary Summer
$1.75 Cloth, Crown 8vo $1.50
"We find ourselves in the presence of a whimsical, humorous, cultured, and very womanly woman, with a pleasant, old-fashioned liking for homeliness, and a simplicity, with a wise husband, three merry babies … a few friends, a gardener, and an old German house to repose in, a garden to be happy in, an agreeable literary gift, and a slight touch of cynicism. Such is "Elizabeth." It is a charming book."—The Academy.
"A continuation of that delightful chronicle of days spent in and about one of the most delightful gardens known to modern literature. The author's exquisite humor is ever present, and her descriptions … have a wonderful freshness and charm."
"Perhaps even more charming than the fascinating original, which is saying a great deal."—The Glasgow Herald.
