Seven Gothic Tales

Isak Dinesen is one of the great storytellers of the 20th century, best known for her classic OUT OF AFRICA. But SEVEN GOTHIC TALES is as good. It is a modern classic. A book of extraordinary fantasy that yet takes us intimately into a vivid variety of human lives. (The Saturday Review of Literature) Whatever it is that Isak Dinesen does in her tales, she does it marvelously well. It is a strange art, bold and perilous. (Commonweal)
