A. We have very fine photos of Karen Blixen that are not familiar to many at
From the beginning of our website in 1998, our goal has been to present information about Karen Blixen / Isak Dinesen that readers have difficulty finding elsewhere. Other websites present photos of Karen Blixen and we are happy they do.

We might add that the most often seen photos of Karen Blixen, those taken during her literary career, do not flatter her, and we find this regrettable. We prefer photos that present a natural idea of her as a person, not as a personality.

We should also add that we like people to form their own opinion of Karen Blixen--in a way, like the writers of the Icelandic sagas. Each reader is free to form his or her own impression. If we opened our Homepage with a photo, the photo would represent only one of many possible views of the author.
