PENGUIN CLASSICS LITTLE CLOTHBOUND : BLISS HC – KATHERINE MANSFIELD

Introducing Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas and essays from the world s greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. Celebrating the range and diversity of Penguin Classics, they take us from snowy Japan to springtime Vienna, from haunted New England to a sun-drenched Mediterranean island, and from a game of chess on the ocean to a love story on the moon. Beautifully designed and printed, these collectible editions are bound in colourful, tactile cloth and stamped with foil. Katherine Mansfield s perceptive and resonant writing helped to define the modern short story, observing apparently trivial incidents to create quietly devastating revelations of inner lives. Graceful, delicate and burning with emotion, Mansfield s stories were integral in shaping the Modernist movement and redefined a genre. This collection contains some of Mansfield s most celebrated stories, including Bliss , The Garden Party and The Daughters of the Late Colonel . The only writing I have ever been jealous of. – Virginia Woolf
