The Solitary Summer
First published in 1899, The Solitary Summer picks up where Elizabeth and Her German Garden left off. Instead of a year's diary of the previous book, this sequel relates a summer in the life of Elizabeth in her patterings about the garden, care of her "babies", various escapades with servants and towns-folk, and several appearances of her husband, "The Man of Wrath".
