โBut we canโt possibly have a garden-party with a man dead just outside the front gate.โโ โThe Garden-Partyโ by Katherine Mansfield
Skyboat Media presents The Best of Katherine Mansfield, an original compilation of stories from one of the defining writers of modernist fiction. Katherine Mansfieldโs stories shine a light on the duality and the overpowering nature of psychology through her delicate, nuanced, and often stream-of-consciousness narration style. None of her stories seem to settle on just one theme; like life they encompass the intersectional nature of all moments, from the most minute and mundane to the most terrific and tragic.
This compilation also includes all the stories she wrote featuring the Burnell family, including little Kezia who is a stand-in for the author herself. โPrelude,โ โThe Little Girl,โ โThe Dollโs House,โ and โAt the Bayโ follow the family through the everyday moments that quickly add up to the biggest revelations and devastations that shape a human soul.

Katherine Mansfield (1888โ1923) was born in Wellington, New Zealand, and settled in Europe to finish her education. She published her first short fiction in The New Age, then in Rhythm, whose editor, the British writer and critic John Middleton Murry, she soon married. Her writing contributed to the development of the stream of consciousness technique and to the modernist use of multiple viewpoints, and her style has had a powerful influence on the development of the short story form.
