Résumé

Discover five stunning stories by Katherine Mansfield, one of the twentieth century's most accomplished short story writers.'The Daughters of the Late Colonel' is a modernist masterpiece of biting wit, following two sisters, Josephine and Constantia, as they struggle to navigate their newfound freedom after the death of their domineering father. This collection also includes 'The Doll's House', 'Marriage à La Mode', 'Germans at Meat' and Mansfield's most famous story, 'The Garden Party', all of which showcase her gorgeously impressionistic style.
This series of pocket-sized paperbacks celebrates the art of the short story and marks Macmillan Collector's Library's 10th anniversary. Each contains a curated selection of short stories from a literary giant: Katherine Mansfield, Arthur Conan Doyle, Edgar Allen Poe, Oscar Wilde, Jane Austen, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Alice Dunbar Nelson, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Rabindranath Tagore.
Kathleen Mansfield Beauchamp was born in New Zealand in 1888. Her father sent her and her sisters to school in London, where she was editor of the school newspaper. Back in New Zealand, she started to write short stories but she grew tired of her life there. She returned to Europe in 1908 and went on to live in France, Italy, Germany and Switzerland. A restless soul who had many love affairs, her modernist writing was admired by her peers such as Leonard and Virginia Woolf, who published her story 'Prelude' on their Hogarth Press.
In 1917 she was diagnosed with tuberculosis and she died in France aged only thirty-four.
