Question 85: Barabbas, and a lionskin for the king of Denmark?

There is a recording of Karen Blixen telling stories about Barabbas, and a lionskin given to the king of Denmark. Where can I find copies of these stories?

A. The tale of Barabbas, which is called "The Wine of the Tetrarch," is part of a longer story written by Karen Blixen called "The Deluge at Norderney" in her first book, Seven Gothic Tales (1934).

The story of the lionskin sent to the king of Denmark appears in Karen Blixen's memoir, Shadows on the Grass (1961), in the chapter "Barua a soldani".

The name of the audio version is Isak Dinesen Herself: Telling Two Stories/the King's Letter/the Wine of the Tetrarch (Audio Partners Publishing Corporation, 1989).
