About Bliss

The groundbreaking New Zealand writer’s most beloved short stories, now in a Little Clothbound Classic designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith

A Penguin Classic Hardcover

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.”
