Synopsis "Prelude & Other Stories (in English)"

Radical, witty and inventive, Katherine Mansfield is one of the twentieth century's most accomplished short-story writers, whose writing contributed significantly to the modernist movement. 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. This edition is edited and introduced by Professor Meg Jensen. Prelude & Other Stories by Katherine Mansfield showcases her remarkable ability to delve into the human mind; in stories such as 'The Garden Party' she reveals the tension between innocence and corruption, the dark side of love and romance are explored in 'Bliss' and 'Love à la Mode', and in the title story, 'Prelude', inspired by her own childhood, her concern is for the isolated and the lonely.
