Publisher Notes
Twelve tales, the last that Isak Dinesen wrote before her death in 1962.
Media Reviews
"Austerely objective in their execution, true to her credo of the storyteller's story, her tales are also extremely personal in their point of view, in their great style. They have a vigor which persuades us that vigor perfectly solves the secret of delicacy, for her stories are the essence of delicacy. She has a marvelous gaiety, and what makes it more marvelous still are its transpositions, true gaiety's other key. Her tales are glimpses out of, rather than into, an extraordinary mind."
