Mansfield, less commonly evoked but an equally brilliant Modernist writer, lived a full, dynamic, turbulent life in her short 34 years and this great collection of short stories is her magnum opus. "I was jealous of her writing. The only writing I have ever been jealous of." - Virginia Woolf Ref: A Bibliography of Katherine Mansfield, Kirkpatrick Bibliographies of Modern Authors, Danielson
