Publisher Description
A New Zealand-born master of the short story, Katherine Mansfield evolved a distinctive prose style with overtones of poetry. Focusing on psychological conflicts, her delicate stories exhibit an obliqueness of narration and a subtlety of observation, revealing the influence of Anton Chekhov. Her work had a significant influence upon the development of the English short story as a form of literature. For the first time in publishing history, this eBook presents the complete works of this Modernist master, with beautiful illustrations, rare texts, concise introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.

Customer Reviews
Incomplete - missing headings
Without the part headings in the story “Something childish but very natural”, it is impossible to distinguish that the paragraphs that should be under a separate heading, as part “VII”, are a dream sequence.
That changes the whole sense of the story, and indeed changes the ending.
Why would someone compiling an accurate version of this story omit the headings?
I’m not buying any more books prepared by this company.
