Although Katherine Mansfield was born in New Zealand in 1888, she spent much of her short life in Great britain and on the Continent. As she composed about the privileged worlds she came across there, her reviews quickly captivated literary attention. Prelude was hand-published by Leonard and Virginia Woolf at their Hogarth Press. Readers today still applaud the grace with which Mansfield fuses image, feelings and meaning. Listed below are ten of Katherine Mansfield's astonishing tales. The lovely narration by Jenny Sterlin gracefully catches both their subtle occasions and their startling revelations. A whispered key phrase, a diamond ring twisting on a finger-each becomes a symbol for the broader psychological forces at work. Included are: "The Baron", "The Modern Spirit", "Prelude", "On the Bay", "Bliss", "THE PERSON Without a Character", "The Girl of the Overdue Colonel", "The Garden-Party", "Neglect Brill", and "The Doll's House".
