Elizabeth and Her German Garden: A Diary of a Pomeranian Garden

Complete and unabridged, with 59 full-page plates by Max Liebermann, Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot and Carl Larsson. A young Englishwoman married to a Prussian count retreats to a neglected garden on the Baltic and writes down what she plants and what she thinks of her husband, whom she calls the Man of Wrath. It went through twenty printings in its first year, published anonymously, and everyone in Berlin tried to work out who she was. Fifty-nine garden paintings from 1818 to 1918, among them Liebermann's Wannsee plots and Menzel's Munich beer garden, echo the diary's own soil and seasons.
