Review

'As much a portrait of a vanished world as the autobiography of a well-loved author told through touching takes of canine companions' Big Issue *'A captivating (in no way barking) autobiography. Dogs take the leading role, but it is also about troublesome husbands, wonderfu houses, a surprising life' Observer


Product Description

'A captivating (in no way barking) autobiography. Dogs take the leading role, but it is also about troublesome husbands, wonderful houses, a surprising life' Observer First published in 1936, this is the story of Elizabeth von Arnim's extraordinary life - and her equally extraordinary dogs. From her Pomeranian idyll (celebrated in her famous first book, ELIZABETH AND HER GERMAN GARDEN), to less happy days in London following the death of her first husband; from the beautiful solitude of her Swiss mountain hideaway, to the First World War and a disastrous second marriage, the author takes us on a disarmingly witty and poignangt journey of canine companionship.

5.0 out of 5 stars Victorian novelist writes biography... of her dogs, 30 Sep 2001
By A Customer
Elizabeth von Arnim lived an unconventional life, shot through with both tragedy and personal success. It is characteristic of the quirky sense of humour found in her writing that she should ignore the sparkling social circle of which she was a part and choose to write the lives of her dogs.

Throughout the book we are given tantalising glimpses of the turbulance - and joy - of von Arnim's wider experiences. This short work will delight both dog-lovers and fans of the author.
