The eleven stories in the volume draw on Isak Dinesen's childhood in Denmark and were written after her return from Kenya, during the German Nazi occupation. The thread that unites them is longing, with tales of memory, fate and fantastical elements.
The book was originally published in Danish as «Vinter-Eventyr» in 1942; the English edition appeared in 1983. Isak Dinesen is the pen name of Karen Blixen.
