(Please click to enlarge)Recently we were all surprised and pleased to read of the new statue of ‘Elizabeth von Arnim’ (1866 – 1941) which has now been erected in Buk, near Rzedziny, Poland.

We wish the organisers every success with this venture and hope it will bring many visitors.| Elizabeth von Arnim
