Description

This collection of fifteen stories showcases Katherine Mansfield's innovative and perceptive writing style, which explores the unspoken emotions that make up everyday experience. Written towards the end of her tragically short life, these stories are set in various locations, including New Zealand, England, and the French Riviera.

Mansfield's writing is characterized by its vivid colour and impressionistic evocation of life's ordinary moments. From the dark comedy of 'The Daughters of the Late Colonel' to the poignant 'Miss Brill', each story offers a unique insight into the human experience. As Mansfield herself said, 'All that I write, all that I am, is on the borders of the sea. It is a kind of playing.'

Published by Penguin, a leading publisher of classic literature, this edition features an authoritative text enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors. With its rich and nuanced portrayal of life, this collection is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in exploring the complexities of human emotion.
