    Kinder bei Laune zu halten und ihre Phantasie anzuregen – vor diese Aufgabe sah sich Elizabeth von Arnim mit fünf kleinen Kindern nicht gerade selten gestellt. Die Mühelosigkeit, mit der sie ihre zahlreichen Romane schrieb, verdankt sie wohl nicht zuletzt der Übung, die sie durch Geschichtenerzählen erlangte. Mit diesem kleinen Text gibt sie gewissermaßen Einblick in ihren häuslichen Alltag. Wie stets tut sie das mit Scherz, Satire, Ironie und zuweilen tieferer Bedeutung. Elizabeth von Arnim hat mittlerweile auch ihre deutschen Leser verzaubert: Die Verfilmung des Romans ›Verzauberter April‹ und ihre Romane ›Elizabeth und ihr Garten‹, ›Elizabeth auf Rügen‹, ›Alle meine Hunde‹, ›Einsamer Sommer‹, ›Die Reisegesellschaft‹, ›Vera‹, ›Jasminhof‹ und ›Sallys Glück‹ zählen in den gebundenen wie in den Taschenbuchausgaben zu den Bestsellern des Insel Verlags. Und in der Bibliothek Suhrkamp ist erschienen: ›Der Garten der Kindheit‹.
