The Garden Party and Other Stories

Katherine Mansfield (1888–1923) is one of New Zealand’s most celebrated authors. Many of her short stories explore New Zealand identity and its landscapes, and her work has been a shaping force of the short story genre. Mansfield moved to England at the age of nineteen where she lived a bohemian life and associated with members of the Bloomsbury group, challenging many social norms of her time. She died of tuberculosis at the age of thirty-two after seeking various treatments throughout Europe.
