About this ebook

Something Childish and Other Stories is a collection of short stories by Katherine Mansfield. Mansfield was a New Zealand writer, essayist and journalist. Excerpt: "Pearl Button swung on the little gate in front of the House of Boxes. It was the early afternoon of a sunshiny day with little winds playing hide-and-seek in it. They blew Pearl Button's pinafore frill into her mouth, and they blew the street dust all over the House of Boxes. Pearl watched it—like a cloud—like when mother peppered her fish and the top of the pepper-pot came off. She swung on the little gate, all alone, and she sang a small song."
