About The Book

Innovative startlingly perceptive and aglow with colour these fifteen stories were written towards the end of Katherine Mansfield's tragically short life. Many are set in the author's native New Zealand others in England and the French Riviera. All are revelations of the unspoken half-understood emotions that make up everyday experience - from the blackly comic 'The Daughters of the Late Colonel' and the short sharp sketch 'Miss Brill' in which a lonely woman's precarious sense of self is brutally destroyed to the vivid impressionistic evocation of family life in 'At the Bay'. 'All that I write' Mansfield said 'all that I am - is on the borders of the sea. It is a kind of playing.'. For more than seventy years Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1700 titles Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
