Here in one volume are 23 of the finest stories by Katherine Mansfield. Considered one of the finest short-story writers of the twentieth century, Mansfield was from a young age heavily influenced by Anton Chekhov, a master of the form. This new selection, with an introduction by the novelist Emily Perkins, ranges across Mansfield's complete writing career and shows the New Zealander's dazzling brilliance to an audience who many not be familiar with her work. Stories include the modernist classic 'The Garden Party' and 'The Daughters of the Late Colonel'.
