Little Clothbound Classics are irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas, and essays from the world's greatest authors, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. Karen Blixen, author of the acclaimed monumental "Out of Africa", was also a master of the art of the short story: her stories offer brilliant reincarnations and explorations into the mystery and unexpected behavior of humans. Along with the story 'Babette's Feast', this selection also includes 'Sorrow-Acre', which is often considered one of her best stories. 'Stories as delicate as Venetian glass', as noted by the New York Times.
