Babette`s Feast and Other Stories

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.
