Publisher's Summary

The spellbinding Julie Harris takes us on a magic carpet into the beautiful and haunting world of writer Isak Dinesen (pen name of Karen Blixen), romantic author and heroine of Out of Africa. Through her fanciful pact with Lucifer, Dinesen becomes a defiant spirit, an eccentric storytelling sorceress - passionate and wickedly witty.

Act I opens on New Year's Eve, 1958, as Karen Blixen prepares for a three-month visit to the United States. Addressing the audience as an unseen ghost, she weaves together stories of her fascinating, complex, and courageous life. In Act II, the writer has returned to Denmark and is dying - yet her life-affirming spirit continues to shine through the brilliant performance of Julie Harris.

Beautiful Portrait of a Life

I was a little concerned at the beginning that I wouldn't gel with this. However, the sincerity of the writing and performance won me over completely and it was a joy to listen to.

Simply Stunning

This is the best audiobook, both for writing and for performance, that I have ever heard or expect to hear. I am somewhat familiar with Dinesen but hope that even one who not know her works previously would be as enchanted as I.
