Elizabeth von Arnim (1866-1941) was an Australian-born writer who spent her life in Great Britain and Europe, where she married a German count, raised five children, had an affair with H. G. Wells, and published more than twenty enormously successful books. The cousin of Katherine Mansfield, von Arnim was a member of a literary circle that included Hugh Walpole, E. M. Forster, George Bernard Shaw, and others. She died in 1941 in Charleston, South Carolina.

The book, The Adventures of Elizabeth in Rügen , has been considered important throughout the human history, and so that this work is never forgotten we have made efforts in its preservation by republishing this book in a modern format for present and future generations. This whole book has been reformatted, retyped and designed. These books are not made of scanned copies of their original work and hence the text is clear and readable.
