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.
