One of the 20th century's great short story writers, Mansfield explored emotional bonds in an intensely visual style of impressionistic details. This collection of her finest work features perceptive tales that reflect Mansfield's own bohemian lifestyle, which involved tempestuous relationships with Bertrand Russell and Virginia Woolf. "Prelude", a reminiscence of her New Zealand girlhood, is included, as well as "The Garden Party", "Bliss", and others. This title is part of Dover Original.
