The Dreaming Child

-As for me I have one ambition only: to invent stories, very beautiful stories-Gothic, expansive and truly spellbinding, Karen Blixen-s short stories offer incisive psychological portraits and imaginative visions of war, longing and tender love. Here, an orphan boy creates an elaborate fantasy of a life of grandeur, a feudal lord sets a peasant woman a deadly task, and a young woman resists against her captors, in the midst of conflict.
