Published by Random House New York, NY in 1961. Karen Christenze von Blixen-Finecke (1885–1962) was a Danish author who wrote under a number of pseudonyms, namely: Isak Dinesen, Tania Blixen, Osceola, and Pierre Andrezel. “Out of Africa” (1937) is perhaps Blixen-Finecke’s most well known work (a memoir that recounts the seventeen years Blixen lived on her coffee-plantation in Kenya) and was widely acclaimed. Shadows on the Grass” (1960) is considered a sequel to “Out of Africa”; it is a short compendium of further recollections about her days in Africa. Many of the people and the events from “Out of Africa” appear again on these pages. Due to its brevity and its closely related content. These four stories illuminate her love both for the African people, their dignity and traditions, and for the beauty and wildness of the landscape. The first three were written in the 1950s. “Echoes from the Hills', was written especially for this volume in the summer of 1960 when the author was in her seventies.
