All of her subsequent books were published in both English & Danish including " Winters Tales" (1942) & " The Angelic Avengers" (1936). Among her other collections of stories are " Last Tales" (1957) " Anecdotes of Destiny" (1958) " Shadows on the Grass" (1960) & posthumously " Ehrengard" (1963). In the 1950s she was mentioned several times as a candidate to receive the Noble Prize in Literature. Baroness Blixen died in Rungsted in 1962. In 1991 her house was opened as The Karen Blixen Museum."
