Winter's Tales by Baroness Karen von Blixen (Isak Dinesen) (1942)

Again some short stories they don't always allow the reader full depth.
But I do love the Baroness' style; there are times when a whole paragraph it made of 5 word sentences; so compact, precise, and efficient.
Nice 1st ed
1942

Our girl was a very smart / educated person; her understanding of human nature and far more interesting the nature of the wealthy and the privileged classes is amazing. Her portal into the mind of the High born and of the bigot born is excellent.

However the tales are mostly sad.
