Jane Todd. London: Routledge, 1998, No. 12 I love gardens and I love flowers, but I do not enjoy gardening so I was not inspired by all her gardening. She is a lovely writer for sure. I loved her book The Enchanted April and I look forward to reading more of her books. But it is her self-deprecating efforts to plan and implement a garden that are a real treat. The Pomeranian climate and landscape are not as receptive to gardening as are England's, but Elizabeth persists doggedly, learning from her mistakes and reveling in her successes. All with that same wit and charm. This edition did have a few errors, especially in the rendering of the German words with which Von Arnim liberally sprinkles her prose. Readers who do not know German might want to look for a footnoted edition with translations, or have an electronic translator handy.
