If one theme unifies the 11 tales collected here, it is that of longing. Written
after her return from Kenya and during the dark days of the Nazi occupation,
they derive their themes and locales from Isak Dinesen's childhood in Denmark.
Isak Dinesen was the pen-name of Karen Blixen, who was born in Rungsted, Denmark
in 1885. After studying art at Copenhagen, Paris and Rome, she married her
cousin, Baron Bror Blixen-Finecke, in 1914. Together they went to Kenya to
manage a coffee plantation. After their divorce in 1921, she continued to run
the plantation until a collapse in the coffee market forced her back to Denmark
in 1931.
