This edition of 'The Collected Stories' brings together all of the stories that Mansfield had written up until her death in 1923. With an introduction and head-notes, this volume allows the reader to become familiar with the complete range of Mansfield's work from the early, satirical stories set in Bavaria, through the luminous recollections of her childhood in New Zealand, and through to the mature, deeply felt stories of her last years. Admired by Virgnia Woolf in her lifetime and by a great many writers since her death, Katherine Mansfield is one of the great literary artists of the twentieth century.
