All the Dogs of My Life

A tantalizing glimpse into the life of acclaimed writer Elizabeth von Arnim told via the lives of the many dogs she owned from childhood to old age.

From the beloved author of The Enchanted April, this is Elizabeth von Arnim's brilliantly written account of the fourteen pet dogs she owned and loved throughout the years. All the Dogs of My Life has an introduction by Nina Stibbe, bestselling writer and author of Went to London, Took the Dog.

From a beloved dachshund to a trouble-seeking Great Dane, via all manner of dogs large and small, obedient and defiant, von Arnim brilliantly captures the bond between dogs and their owners. This witty and often poignant book is the closest the author came to writing a memoir. Despite her frequent exhortations that it wasn’t an autobiography, much is revealed about her fascinating life: her marriages, life in Germany, England and Switzerland, her children and her lovers.
