With a serene and classic simplicity Isak Dinesen tells of life on a plantation in Kenya. By the magic of her prose and her supreme gifts as a storyteller she reveals the African landscape in all its vibrant beauty. She makes the strange ways of the country and its natives part of the reader's own discovery and experience. Isak Dinesen's remote farm cultivated far more than its coffee crop; it became identified with a rich personality as sensitive to the primitive people and the animal life of the Ngong Hills as it was to the ideas that stirred the outside world.
