As long as she lived, Karen Blixen (known to the literary world as Isak Dinesen) was reluctant to open drawers and family albums to an eager public. Presented here are photographs collected from her private files accompanied by a text written by her secretary of many years. In more than 200 photographs we glimpse Blixen’s aristocratic ancestors, her childhood in Denmark, her companions in Kenya, and later portraits by Cecil Beaton and Peter Beard. This is a fascinating look at the author of Out of Africa and Seven Gothic Tales, opening the door to the world of Karen Blixen, a world unlike any other.

The Dream Song of Olaf Åsteson is a folksong which only came to light in 1850 when a clergyman called Landstad heard it in a lonely valley in Telemark, Norway. No one knows how long it had existed, but it is an epic narrative telling the story of a young man who slept for twelve nights in the depths of winter, and then awoke to share the wondrous sights he had seen. This edition is illustrated with Janet Jordan’s striking paintings, which give life to Olaf and help the modern reader engage with the ancient saga.
