If Eve had had a spade in Paradise and known what to do with it, we should not have had all that sad business of the apple.
Filled with flowers and forests, this lovely novella comes in the form of a diary written by an unabashed introvert and dreamer. This is the 6th novel I’ve read by Elizabeth von Arnim and I want to read them all. She’s such a kindred spirit.
While admiring my neighbour, I don't think I shall ever try to follow in her steps, my talents not being of the energetic and organising variety, but rather of that order which makes their owner almost lamentably prone to take up a volume of poetry and wander out to where the kingcups grow, and, sitting on a willow trunk beside a little stream, forget the very existence of everything but green pastures and still waters, and the glad blowing of the wind across the joyous fields.
The free ebook is available at gutenberg.org and in the Kindle store.
