- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A wonderful collection of the short stories by Katherine Mansfield. The stories a beautifully written, each with its own unique feel and vibe. I loved the way I could dip in and read at my leisure, each time taking away a renewed love of short stories. My favourite of the collection is ‘The Doll’s House’ which captures the heart of being a little girl showing of her prized treasure.This book is a must for all Kiwi book shelves.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5i found this a lot of short stories to get through. i took a break about half-way which is one of the joys of short stories. but overall very good. this was a selection of 500 best books by women.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This is the first book of stories from this author that I've read. I found the stories to be rather dark and discouraging. I also did not like the bad language in. I continued listening to it only because I needed a book of short stories to fulfill a book club requirement. I don't really recommend this one.
