Katherine Mansfield and the Garden Party and Other Stories : Edinburgh University Press : 9781399509954 : 1399509950 : 15 Aug 2024 : New scholarship on Katherine Mansfield's The Garden Party and Other Stories together with creative work inspired by Mansfield The last collection of short stories published in her lifetime, The Garden Party and Other Stories would solidify Katherine Mansfield's place as the most prominent modernist short story writer of her generation.
