None of the stories has ever appeared in book form in English, and three of them have been translated from the Danish especially for this volume. Spanning Dinesen's entire career as a writer, Carnival features some of the first stories she wrote in her youth as well as several she was working on at the time of her death. The title story was the first ever to carry the pen name "Isak Dinesen" and is quite probably the first story she wrote originally in English.As one of Dinesen's earliest tales of the fantastic, "Carnival" provides a valuable perspective on her first master work, Seven Gothic Tales.
