Description
These five rich, witty and magical stories include one of Dinesen's most well known tales, 'Babette's Feast', which was made into the classic film.
It tells the story of a French cook working in a puritanical Norwegian community, who treats her employers to the decadent feast of a lifetime.
There is also a real-life Prospero and his Ariel in 'Tempests', a mysterious pearl-fisher in 'The Diver' and a brief, tragic encounter in 'The Ring'.
All the stories have a mystic, fairy-tale quality, linked by themes of angels, the sea, dreams and fate.
They were among the last to be written by Isak Dinesen, and show her as a master of short fiction.
