Notes:  Author's pseud., Isak Dinesen, at head of title. Originally published: London : Putnam, 1937. With new biographical note. Summary:  An account of the author's life on a coffee farm in Kenya. In this book, the author of Seven Gothic Tales gives an account of her life in Africa, from 1914 to 1931, on her four-thousand acre coffee plantation in Kenya. She tells with classic simplicity of the ways of the country and the natives: of the beauty of the Ngong Hills and coffee trees in blossom: of her guests, from the Prince of Wales to Knudsen, the old charcoal burner, who visited her: of primitive festivals: of big game that were her near neighbors--lions, rhinos, elephants, zebras, buffaloes--and of Lulu, the little gazelle who came to live with her, unbelievably ladylike and beautiful.
