I read numerous books by Elizabeth von Armin, and till today, I thought she was German. She was born in Australia!
This book (1899) and her first, Elizabeth and her German Garden (1898), were my constant read when I was in my early 30s. They offered me great comfort.

I was figuring out why they resonated, and I could only come up with the idea that she and Jane Austin were the type of authors who were also my friends.
When asked what are some interesting facts about Elizabeth von Armin, ChatGTP listed the below amongst others:
Independent Spirit – Elizabeth was known for her sharp wit, feminist leanings, and love for solitude. Her works often featured themes of independence, personal freedom, and a critique of societal expectations of women.
Now, I know for sure why I know her as a friend.
