Elizabeth and Her German Garden is a novel by the Australian-born writer Elizabeth von Arnim, first published in 1898. It was very popular and frequently reprinted during the early years of the 20th century. The book earned over GBP10,000 in the first year of publication, with 11 reprints during 1898; by May 1899, it had been reprinted 21 times. The book is the first in a series about the same character, "Elizabeth". It is noteworthy for originally being published without a named author. Von Arnim insisted that she must remain anonymous because she claimed her husband, the German aristocrat Count Henning August von Arnim-Schlagenthin [de], whom she satirises in the book, would have found it unacceptable for his wife to write commercial fiction.
