Books

First edition. Octavo. pp [viii], 522. Colour frontispiece by Rex Whistler. The first of the author's books to appear in the U.K.Free endpapers partially and faintly tanned. Edges faintly spotted. Very good indeed in very good, slightly marked and dusty dustwrapper with a few small chips and a short closed tear at bottom edge of front panel. The dustwrapper repeats Whistler's frontispiece and adds an additional drawing by him to the spine.

A collection of stories that made Isak Dinesen (Karen Blixen) famous. These tales are Gothic-inspired and explore existential themes through captivating narratives.
