Between the Covers

Softcover. First Danish edition. Fine and uncut in original illustrated self-wrappers with a couple of tiny tears, housed in a custom cloth clamshell case with morocco spine label. An exceptionally fresh and beautiful copy of the author's best-known work, a fond evocation of Kenya and its wildlife suggested by her experience running a coffee plantation. Written in English by the Danish author, and then translated by her into her native tongue for this edition. The English edition precedes this Danish edition, which in turn precedes the American edition. This edition is many times scarcer than either the English or American editions, and is rare in nice condition. No copies found in either *OCLC* or *RLIN*, nor any offered at auction within the past quarter century. Sydney Pollack directed the 1985 film version starring Meryl Streep and Robert Redford.
