Isak Dinesen Babette's Feast & Other Stories Paperback Book

These five rich, witty and magical stories from the author of Out of Africa include one of her most well known tales, Babettes 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 reallife Prospero and his Ariel in Tempests, a mysterious pearlfisher in The Diver and a brief, tragic encounter in The Ring. All the stories have a mystic, fairytale 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. | Isak Dinesen Babette's Feast & Other Stories Paperback Book
