Fine/Near Fine. np, profusely illustrated in duotone and b&w. Designed by Peter Beard and Marvin Israel. "Isak Dinesen and the land and people she loved are nowhere so real and compelling as in "Longing For Darkness", written by Dinesen's majordomo, Kamante. Readers familiar with "Out of Africa" may recognize many of these enchanting stories - retold here from Kamante's perspective to famed photographer Peter Beard - and enhanced with his drawings, letters, Dinesen's words and snapshots, and photographs by Beard throughout." A most handsome example of the 1990 first Chronicle Books hardbound edition additionally bearing the UNIQUE, BOLDLY SIGNED AND DATED INSCRIPTION "warm Salaams / from Peter Beard / July 1994" in blue ink accompanied by a full hand print in blue ink across the half title page showing a bit of sunning to the spine and extremities of the dust jacket.
