Fraulein Schmidt And Mr Anstruther
Fraulein Schmidt And Mr Anstruther: A Virago Modern Classic | Elizabeth Von Arnim
3 posts | 1 read | 4 to read
This enchanting novel tells the story of the love affair between Rose-Marie Schmidt and Roger Anstruther. A determined young woman of twenty-five, Rose-Marie is considered a spinster by the inhabitants of the small German town of Jena where she lives with her father, the Professor. To their homes comes Roger, an impoverished but well-born young Englishman who wishes to learn German: Rose-Marie and Roger fall in love. But the course of true love never did run smooth: distance, temperament and fortune divide them. We watch the ebb and flow of love between two very different people and see the witty and wonderful Rose-Marie get exactly what she wants.

Leftcoastzen I love Vita!❤️ 6y
Chrissyreadit Very pretty! What genre are they? Somehow I picture your house as a stunning multiple room library with a kitchen and bedroom. 6y
LeahBergen @Leftcoastzen These will be my first Veras! (edited) 6y
LeahBergen @Chrissyreadit They are sort of “British women in the 1920s and 30s”. Is that a sort of genre? 😆 As to my house - yeah, I think my husband would say it‘s a bit of a multi-room library. 😂 And you‘re right, actually. We always say our next place will be mostly library. 6y
Lel2403 Love the look of these 6y
Moray_Reads I've read the two by Vita and loved both 👍 6y

EvieBee @conversationswithcharis Thank you! ☺️ 7y
EvieBee @HKGirl I was told to follow up ENCHANTED APRIL with ELIZABETH AND HER GERMAN GARDEN (non-fiction), but I recently purchased (edited) 7y
batsy Ooh I've been curious about her books! Now the big problem is whether to try to find the green Virago edition (love those) or this gorgeous edition 😊 7y

#VintageEdition post, #ElizabethVonArnim edition. These books from my collection are editions from 1931, 1940, 1907, 1936, 1929, and 1926 respectively. 💕

SharonGoforth Gorgeous!! 8y
GlitteryOtters @SharonGoforth thanks! I love her books so much I had to own them...and for some reason old editions were often cheaper than newer editions of the same quality level, so of COURSE I went for the old editions where possible...! 8y
SharonGoforth @GlitteryOtters I have a few Van Arnims that are vintage, including The Jasmine Farm which has the same cover as yours 😊. I just love vintage books. They have a wonderful patina about them. 8y
