These four autobiographical episodes are a pendant to Isak

Dinesen’s famous book, "Out of Africa", which was published

in 1937 under her own name Baroness Karen Blixen. That book

is now a classic, and in "Shadows of the Grass" Isak Dinesen writes,

with her brilliant clarity and superb understanding of primitive people,

of a variety of experiences with her African servants and neighbours.

She makes the personalities of the people, and the powerful attraction

of Kenya so alive that the reader shares with her its fascination and her

own nostalgia.
