Vol. 14 No. 3 of The Storybook Home Journal
The Enchanted April
What's in this issue?
Next Door To Heaven the Decorating article
What is it about Italian houses, epitomized by San Salvatore, that make them feel next door to Heaven? And for the rest of us, living wherever me may, what affordable, simple things can be done to make one's own home feel that way? Some ideas in answer to these questions are presented under four headings: Pick in Armfuls, Lots of Love About, A Happy Austerity, and The Yellow Sitting-Room.
If She Doesn't Paint the Hearth article
The third installment in this series of art lessons for beginners focuses on how to look analytically at light or color, how to wield a brush for watercoloring, what a gradient is and how to make them, how to mix colors, and how to apply them.
An Excellent Cook the Kitchen article
Nineteenth century politicians may have successfully united duchies and provinces into one long, chic boot at the bottom of the map of Europe; but a Roman is till more than simply miles away from a Venetian--he's a heritage, a tradition and a cuisine apart. We present a handful of recipes for dishes that Costanza might have served both in the days of her extravagant feasts, as well as in the weeks of her more economical fare. The list includes: Breakfast Bread, Gialletti (a cookie-like bread), Oven Roasted Asparagus, Oven Roasted Peppers, Rich Lentil Soup, Costanza's Purses with Balsamella Sauce or Pommarola Sauce, Pork Braised in Milk, Carrot Sformato, Scrap's Macaroons, and San Salvatore Butter Biscotti.
Wisteria And Sunshine the Garden article
Elizabeth von Arnim describes the wisteria of San Salvatore as a crowd of loveliness and a happy jumble. This installment of The Garden reminds us that home and garden are crammed with memories and that the blurring between indoors and out is one of the great delights of summer. Some suggestions about the care and the diversity of wisteria varieties is also presented, along with a bit about the plant's history.
A Net Over Her Bed the Workshop article
Carrying San Salvatore back to Hampstead was a work worthy of the heart for the guests who at last got to the bottom of the hill and passed through the iron gates out into the village. Here, it becomes a work of the hands by creating a corona, fit for a castle, and mounting it with gauzy-fabrics reminiscent of the netting Lady Caroline requests around her bed at San Salvatore.
Being My Own Whiskers the Writer's Garret article
Among the hardships imposed by Seymore's expulsion from the College are the sudden need for income and a place to live. Just as he had done eight years earlier, Seymore canvassed the Capitol as a freelancer in search of work, but to no avail. He and Bryhta also discover that the cost of moving--never mind paying for a place to live--will eat up the little bit remaining from the loan that paid for Seymore's first year at the College. It was at this gloomy juncture, writes Seymore, that Leornian showed up on our doorstep in the fair prospect of a cloudless morning early in April of 1765.

By Elspeth C. Young
The Enchanted April is as magical as its name implies. Not merely a description of an idyllic Easter vacation in a medieval castle (San Salvatore), the work's pace, its poetic language, and its cleverness create a rest cure for the reader as well as its heroines. Von Arnim transplants four women, sporting archetypal women's woes, from their dreary London existence, between the wars, to a little stay in Heaven.
The reader meets self-righteous Rose Arbuthnot, who has sought wearisome toil as a means of compensating for lack of conjugal felicity; socially awkward Lottie Wilkins, whose love of beauty has been all but smothered by her gloomy Hampstead life; wealthy and widowed Mrs... Read more »
