She is also noted for her Seven Gothic Tales, particularly in Denmark. Blixen is best known for Out of Africa, an account of her life while living in Kenya, and for one of her stories, Babette's Feast, both of which have been adapted into Academy Award-winning motion pictures. Overall, a very attractive and collectible copy of this splendid novel which was made into a fine movie directed by Sydney Pollack and starring Robert Redford and Meryl Streep. With a short thumbnail pressure cut to the jacket at the center, right gutter edge. With the merest touch of rubbing along the edges. With a list of notable recent and forthcoming Random House Fiction on the rear panel. In a very good plus pictorial dust jacket with the original price of $2.75 at the top of the inside front flap. Tiny tear at the edge of the left spine edge. Very clean and tight throughout with a discrete address sticker at the top of the front endpaper. And cinnamon cloth-covered boards stamped with a gilded bird. Very handsomely bound in finely wovely gleaming black cloth spine stamped brightly in gold.
