"One memorable summer the Baron and Baroness von Ottringel come
to England for a caravan holiday. It is an experience they will never forget!"


Elizabeth von Arnim* was an Antipodean born Brit who -
in 1891 - married a curmudgeonly Prussian aristocrat.
He died in 1910.

It wasn't a good match that got worse as he became hard
up. In due course he was gaoled for fraud [according to
Wiki], and so she escaped into writing fiction.

She did rather well too. This one [published in 1909]
is about a caravanning holiday in Britain. She seems
to be imagining what her husband's reaction would
have been to sleepy 'golden afternoon' Britain.

I find it funny. Some think it miserable.

She also wrote as Alice Cholmondeley. One of her
cousins was Katherine Mansfield. E M Forster and
Hugh Walpole tutored her children. Her second
husband was Bertrand Russell's old brother.
