Longing For Darkness: Kamante's Tales From Out of Africa.

First edition, early printing of this collaboration between the famed photographer and author. Quarto, original boards with paper onlay featuring a portrait of Blixen to the front panel, illustrated with 168 drawings by Kamante and 160 photographs and captions by Isak Dinesen collected by Peter Beard. Presentation copy, warmly inscribed by Peter Beard on the front free endpaper, "To Renny, on March 15th ... Many Happy returns of the day (infinity sign)'s always, Peter (Beard) Hog Ranch Box 4191 Nairobi." Beard has added a large original drawing over two pages of Hog Ranch with boars and crocodiles in watering hole. Very good in a very good price-clipped dust jacket, dampstaining to the right corner of the text block. A unique example.
