The Princess Priscilla's Fortnight
Suspected to be written as a true-to-life fairy tale for Elizabeth von Arnim's own children, `The Princess Priscilla's Fortnight' tells the story of Princess Priscilla, a well-known German princess who has grown tired of her lavish and pampered lifestyle.
Her mentor, Herr Fritzing, has been teaching her about the wide world outside the castle walls and Priscilla yearns to escape and explore it.
`The Princess Priscilla's Fortnight' will be enjoyed by fans of `The Princess Diaries'.
Elizabeth von Arnim was an English novelist - a cousin of the New Zealand-born writer Katherine Mansfield - born as Mary Annette Beauchamp in Australia in 1866. She married a German aristocrat and her earliest written works are set in Germany.
Von Arnim launched her career as a writer with her satirical and semi-autobiographical work `Elizabeth and Her German Garden', published anonymously in 1898. Although she was known by the name May in her early life, when she began writing, her success as `Elizabeth' meant that her writings were ascribed to the name Elizabeth von Arnim.

Elizabeth Von Arnim
Née en 1866 en Australie sous le nom de Mary Annette Beauchamp, **Elizabeth von Arnim** est une romancière anglo-allemande, cousine de la célèbre écrivaine Katherine Mansfield. Après avoir épousé un aristocrate prussien, elle s’installe en Allemagne puis en Suisse, où elle écrit plusieurs romans marqués par une critique acerbe des conventions sociales et une sensibilité féministe. *La Femme du pasteur*, publié en 1914, est l’un de ses ouvrages les plus emblématiques, mêlant satire et tendresse pour décrire l’étouffement des femmes dans des rôles imposés.
