is one.Elizabeth's memoir is read with elan and obvious relish by Nadia May."AudioFile

Indoors are servants, meals and furniture. There, too, is The Man of Wrath, her upright Teutonic husband, inspiring
in Elizabeth a mixture of irritation, affection and irreverence. But outside she can escape domestic routine, read
favorite books, play with her three babiesand garden to her hearts content. Through Elizabeths eyes we watch
the seasons, from Mays oasis of bird-cherries and greenery to the time when snow carpets her Pomeranian
wilderness. And each season brings with it new events as friends and neighbors come and go, all wonderfully
recorded with Elizabeths uniquely witty pen.
