Bliss: 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`.
