First edition, with the author's inscription to half-title, of Blixen’s second collection of stories, Winter’s Tales, was published during the German occupation of Denmark. After the gothic, aristocratic and African settings of her two previous works, Blixen turns her gaze homeward in Winter’s Tales - towards Nordic landscapes and environments and towards a style more closely aligned with the Danish literary tradition.
