A beautiful new hardback edition of Katherine Mansfield's most
vivid and distinctive stories. Katherine Mansfield was the only
writer Virginia Woolf envied. Mansfield transformed the short story
genre with her work, creating stories miraculous in their intensity
yet seemingly so simple. The shift of a heart, the beat of a
moment, the changing of the light: in these stories emotional
universes are contained within glimpses. Mansfield only lived to
the age of 34 but in that time wrote stories true to her
indomitable spirit. A hundred years on from her death, Mansfield's
biographer, Claire Harman, has created this new selection to show
us the master of the short story form in full flight. WITH A
FOREWORD BY HELEN SIMPSON AND INTRODUCTION BY CLAIRE HARMAN 'There
is something rapturous about her work...she has the power to distil
the apparently inconsequential into frozen moments laden with
significance' Guardian 'Would you not like to try all sorts of
lives - one is so very small - but that is the satisfaction of
writing - one can impersonate so many people' Katherine Mansfield
