About This Item

London: William Heinemann, 1937. new leather-bound. hardback. Very good, half-bound calf (front board slight bend inwards), with marbled covers, pastedowns; ribbed spine with gilt decoration and gilt/black titling bright; text block firm, pages unmarked, crisp and clean, top edge gilt.. 12mo (190 x 130 / 7_"" x 5""). Elizabeth von Arnim (1866Ð1941), an English novelist born Mary Annette Beauchamp in Australia, married a German aristocrat and her earliest works are set in Germany. Her first marriage made her Countess von Arnim-Schlagenthin and her second Elizabeth Russell, Countess Russell. After her first husband's death, she had a three-year affair with the writer H. G. Wells, then later married Frank Russell, elder brother of the Nobel prize-winner and philosopher Bertrand Russell. She was a cousin of the New Zealand-born writer Katherine Mansfield. Though known in early life as May, her first book introduced her to readers as Elizabeth, which she eventually became to friends and finally to family. Her writings are ascribed to Elizabeth von Arnim.[1] She used the pseudonym Alice Cholmondeley only for a novel, Christine, published in 1917.
