Fascinating black 'n white biography

Well, for $1 what a bargin!! Large A4 black and white(photos and lots of them) book about lady who wrote "out of africa" that became the film of same name with Meryl Streep and Robert Redford. Story of her extra orinary life ( Denmark and Africa..with a visit to the USA thrown in a few years before her death in 1963(? Became a well known writer under name of Isak Dinesen, and wrote with colourful prose,This book is 37 years old and was written by her secretary Easy to read and an excellent story and reference book.(,really both rolled into one)Lots of photos and if you loved the movie, you should read about the lady who actually lived the life..rich story, about love, marriage, relationships and being an author who Makes IT... Buy it..dont be put off by the raw quality of the paper and photos..
