Born into a Victorian Danish family, Karen Christentze Dinesen married her second cousin, a high-spirited and philandering Baron, and moved to Kenya where she ran a coffee plantation, painted and wrote.

By the time of her death, Dinesen was internationally known, particularly for her work "Out of Africa".

Her father's outspoken sympathy of the plight of the American Indians, his suicide and the effects of his personal anguish as a failed adventurer are illuminated as major forces on Dinesen's imagination. The Danish history of romance and masquerade and the tradition of pantomime are also explored as themes that recur in Dinesen's work.
