She is now known invariably as Elizabeth von Arnim. She used the pen nameÂAlice CholmondeleyÂonly for the novelÂChristine, published in 1917. According to Katy Roiphe's Uncommon Arrangements: Seven Portraits of Married Life in London Literary Circles 1910-1939, 2008, she "arranged for her married lover (H.G.ÂWells) to visit her Swiss chalet bedroom by means of a hidden entrance". The affectionate inscription confirms that, even after their affair had ended, they remained close friends. Octavo, 28 volumes. Bound in original publishers cloth, gilt titles and tooling to the spine, top edge gilt. Frontispiece illustrations including the author portrait in volume one. In near fine condition.
