Out of Africa: With this audiobook, the writer of Seven Gothic Stories provides true account of her life on her plantation in Kenya. She tells with classic simplicity of the ways of the united states and the natives; of the beauty of the Ngong Hillsides and coffee trees and shrubs in blossom; of her friends, from the Prince of Wales to Knudsen, the old charcoal burner, who frequented her; of primitive festivals; of big game which were her near friends and neighbors - lions, rhinos, elephants, zebras, buffaloes; and of Lulu, the tiny gazelle who came up to live a life with her, unbelievably ladylike and beautiful. Shadows on the Lawn: Isak Dineson takes up the absorbing report of her life in Kenya begun in the remarkable Out of Africa, which she shared under the name of Karen Blixon. With warmth and humanity, these four reports light up her love for the African people, their dignity and practices, and the beauty and wildness of the panorama. The first three were written in the 1950s and the last, "Echoes from the Hills", was written especially for this volume level in the summer of 1960, when the writer was at her 70s. In all they provide a moving final section to her African reminiscences.
