I just saw the first episode of season 2 of Downton Abbey and saw that the cowardly Moseley gave the loyal Anna a copy of “Elizabeth and her German Garden” by Elizabeth von Arnim. I first read Elizabeth von Arnim because an Italian friend suggested I read “All the Dogs of my Life,” her very tart and very merry memoir. Then I got to write the introduction to the New York Review Books edition of “The Enchanted April,” a book to read over and over. Especially when it’s raining. Flowers, Positano…

i think there is one more book of hers in print.
Where does one find “all the dogs of my life”?
When I can’t find a book, I go to Betterworld.com, which sells used books and donates the proceeds to literacy programs. They have an astonishing inventory.
