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.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: FictionBook Series: Penguin Modern ClassicsTopic: Classic FictionRelease Year: 2013 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
