Isak. DINESEN WINTER'S TALES.
"Random House," 1942 Hardcover Good
"no dust jacket, ink names on front free endpaper, light rowning, light rubbing of extremities, red cloth starting to fade,() Set in Isak Dinesen's native Denmark, the Winter's Tales contains 11 mythical tales, often macabre and haunting. Beautifully written in an unusual Baroque-style prose long forgotten in the 20th century, the reader is transported to folk story-like realms of sensibility. For example, in one story, an aristocratic Lord devises a cruel test for a peasant woman seeking to free her imprisoned son. In another, a couple, stranded on a North Sea ice floe, find a glaring ecstasy in the face of death. This is an excellent book for fans of fantasy and folk tales. ID: mon0000087030"
