A unique book compiled by Peter Beard and Karen Blixen's long term employee and then chef, Kumante. Her admiration for this thoughtful man is spelt out in detail in her book Out Of Africa. This is a record of Old Africa as it is no longer and the book has a timeless quality about it that transcends its subjects, magnificently and respectfully photographed by Blixen and others many years ago.
