An exceptional volume, comprising eleven wonderful tales by Isak Dinesen. With titles such as 'The Young Man with the Carnation,' 'Sorrow-Acre,' 'The Heroine,' 'The Sailor-Boy's Tale,' and others.
Eleven stories that open a new world of enchantment and adventure, in which magical elements of the fairy tale and the moral resonance of the mix intertwine with some of the darkest human strength and weaknesses.
