About This Item

Published in First Edition Thus state by Heinemann of London, 1979, translations from the Danish being from P.M. Mitchell and W. D. Paden.

Bright and shiny dust jacket, illustrated, showing moderate wear to tips, edges, protected by a plastic coat, dust jacket not being price-clipped. xxv + 229 pp. From the dust jacket blurb, "The subjects of the essays range from the early photographs of Daguerre to a visit to Berling during the last war and a visit to London immediately after the war ended. She discusses a speech about feminism which she did not feel qualified to give as she was not a whole-hearted feminist. She writes about her beloved family home, Rungstedlund, of how friends helped Jews to escape in fishing-boats to Sweden, and, in the last piece, gives the text of her broadcast appeal for the estate to be kept as a bird sanctuary after her death." Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.
