Description
Mordant, challenging and inventive, Katherine Mansfield is one of the twentieth century’s most accomplished short story writers. Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. Prelude & Other Stories is edited and introduced by Professor Meg Jensen. The stories in this volume have been chosen to highlight three powerful viewpoints. The theme of innocence versus corruption is played out in stories like ‘The Doll’s House’ in which two eager young girls are shunned by their classmates. Disappointment in love and romance are addressed many times over, ‘Love à la Mode’ and ‘Bliss’ are just two examples and finally stories such as ‘Germans at Meat’ and ‘The Baron’ explore human loneliness. And in her famous story ‘Prelude’, Mansfield recalls her happy childhood in New Zealand.
