Clifton Gardens is in Mosman, seven kilometres from Elizabeth’s home in Kirribilli, but a completely comprehensible error. This is the kind of mistake that Elizabeth would have delighted in, a woman who set traps for future biographers. And the third, and most recent, who had followed Elizabeth’s footsteps throughout Europe, but not her infant footsteps around Sydney Harbour, also misplaced her subject’s birthplace, describing it as ‘overlooking Rose Bay’ and and remarking ‘that the site of her birth is still known as Clifton Gardens.’ The second claimed she was born in New Zealand, presumably because she was from the same Beauchamp family as her cousin, Katherine Mansfield. The first biographer, Elizabeth’s daughter, knew that her mother was born in Australia but wasn’t sure where. Because so far, all three proper biographers had got it wrong. I thought, for once, I should do what proper biographers do and begin at the beginning – where she was born. When I first went in search for Elizabeth von Arnim I got on a ferry.

Stuck in the Mud is about a group of animals who found themselves in a muddy situation, and how one who had the experience led them out of it. At other times it was my role to guide them through situations where they could learn from experiences encountered, and to do so with the hope that they would come face to face with their decisions by paying attention to directions. There were times when decisions had to be made on their behalf. It was my task to redirect them when they became involved in acts that were not in keeping with my parents' expectations. Often my parents would leave me in charge when they had to attend to errands. Growing up as a child in the South, it was an ordinary inclination to pay attention to my younger brothers and sisters.
