Winter's Tales

pick

Written in 1942 during the German occupation of Denmark, Danish writer Dinesen (a nom de plume for Baroness Karen Blixen) weaves beautifully rich tapestries that are her short stories, believing in the power of myth, romance and medieval fable as bulwarks against the bleak “wintry” landscape of WWII. Great contrast with my “summery” reading spot: Standish-Hickey State Park along the beautiful Eel River.

Hi, I'm new to Litsy 👋
I'm a bookworm from Scotland and enjoy reading classics, magical realism, fantasy and everything in between. Favourite authors are Isak Dinesen, D.H. Lawrence & Elspeth Barker 📚🐛
Looking forward to sharing my reads and finding some new worlds to get lost in!

Donna_sBookMinute Welcome to @Litsy! I like that your selections are not necessarily "top sellers." I, myself, tend to wander from the beaten path. 8y
