THE GARDEN PARTY AND OTHER STORIES - LORNA SAGE...

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 1 700 titles  Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout
