These five rich, witty and magical stories from the author of Out
of Africa include one of her 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.
