Description: unpaginated. Pictorial Black boards 100's of black and white photos throughout. Light wear to the extremities, internally clean, unmarked copy. Unclipped pictorial jacket creased along the upper edges, closed tears along the extremities. Peter Beard has lived near Karen Blixen's farm and collected her story from many of her friends and staff in Africa. In this beautiful book he assembles excellent original photographs of Karen Blixen and enhances them with photographs of his own from Africa. The commentary is by Kamante Gatura, Karen Blixen's cook. A fascinating book, especially because Kamante's version differs from that of some of Karen Blixen's biographers. The illustrations compliment a reading of Linda Donelson's "Out of Isak Dinesen in Africa: Karen Blixen's untold story." Size: Large Quarto

Below this is a gelatin silver photograph of Beard with Karen Blixen mounted inside a' Seasons Greetings' book of matches. Peter Beard first visited Africa at seventeen and, when returning a few years later he read Out of Africa (1937), the book Karen Blixen wrote under the pseudonym Isak Dinensen, on the boat over. Captivated by the book, he travelled to Copenhagen to visit Blixen in 1961 and again in 1962. During this second visit, Blixen gave Beard a letter of introduction to her former majordomo, Kamante Gatura, a Kenyan national of the Kikuyu tribespeople. Beard suggested that Kamante write a book about his life with Njeri wa Kahuga (the Kikuyu name given to Karen Blixen). Longing for Darkness, which takes its title from Blixen's Shadows on the Grass (1960), features Kamante Gatura's recollections of his time with Blixen and folk tales of his people; these were spoken into a tape recorder and were translated and transcribed by his sons, the book also includes his drawings, Karen Blixen's archival photographs and Peter Beard's photographs.
