Light wear to the extremities, internally clean, unmarked copy. Unclipped pictorial jacket creased along the upper edges, closed tears along the extremities. Peter Bear…d has lived near Karen Blixen's farm and collected her story from many of her friends and staff in Africa. In this beautiful book he assembles excellent original photographs of Karen Blixen and enhances them with photographs of his own from Africa. The commentary is by Kamante Gatura, Karen Blixen's cook. A fascinating book, especially because Kamante's version differs from that of some of Karen Blixen's biographers. The illustrations compliment a reading of Linda Donelson's "Out of Isak Dinesen in Africa: Karen Blixen's untold story." Size: Large Quarto. Book.

Contact seller5-star sellerFirst edition, early printing of this collaboration between the famed photographer and author. Quarto, original boards with paper onlay featuring a portrait of Blixen to the front panel, illustrated with 168 drawings by Kamante and 160 photographs and captions by Isak Dinesen collected by Peter Beard. Presentation copy, warmly i…nscribed by Peter Beard on the front free endpaper, "To Renny, on March 15th . Many Happy returns of the day (infinity sign)'s always, Peter (Beard) Hog Ranch Box 4191 Nairobi." Beard has added a large original drawing over two pages of Hog Ranch with boars and crocodiles in watering hole. Very good in a very good price-clipped dust jacket, dampstaining to the right corner of the text block. A unique example. "In one of the most dazzling-and unlikely-books of recent times, the lost world of Isak Dinesen (Baroness Karen Blixen) is stirringly re-created by her old major domo, Kamante, the hero of her classic Out of Africa. Here Kamante gives his version of Out of Africa (related to Peter Beard and then translated from Swahili and handwritten by Kamante's sons), his inspired rendering of the fables Isak Dinesen taught in Karen Coffee Farm School, and his lyrical watercolors.".
