McGowan, and David Widger ELIZABETH AND HER GERMAN GARDEN By "Elizabeth", AKA Marie Annette Beauchamp Contents INTRODUCTION TO THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EDITION ELIZABETH AND HER GERMAN GARDEN INTRODUCTION TO THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EDITION Originally published in 1898, "Elizabeth and her German Garden" is the first book by Marie Annette Beauchamp—known all her life as "Elizabeth". The book, anonymously published, was an incredible success, going through printing after printing by several publishers over the next few years. (I myself own three separate early editions of this book by different publishers on both sides of the Atlantic.) The present Gutenberg edition was scanned from the illustrated deluxe MacMillan (London) edition of 1900. Elizabeth was a cousin of the better-known writer Katherine Mansfield (whose real name was Kathleen Mansfield Beauchamp).
