Something Childish, and other stories by Katherine Mansfield 25 Short Stories Kathleen Mansfield Murry (nee Beauchamp; 14 October 1888 - 9 January 1923) was a prominent New Zealand modernist short story writer who was born and brought up in colonial New Zealand and wrote under the pen name of Katherine Mansfield. Most of the stories and sketches in this collection were written in the years between the publication of Katherine Mansfield's first book, "In a German Pension," in 1911 and the publication of her second, "Bliss and other Stories," in 1920. There are a few exceptions. The first story, The Tiredness of Rosabel, was written in 1908 when Katherine Mansfield was nineteen years old, and the three stories following also were written before "In a German Pension" was published: while Sixpence and Poison were written after Bliss had appeared. Sixpence was excluded from "The Garden-Party and Other Stories" by Katherine Mansfield because she thought it "sentimental"; Poison was excluded because I thought it was not wholly successful. I have since changed my mind: it now seems to me a little masterpiece. 1.The Tiredness of Rosabel 2.How Pearl Button Was Kidnapped 3.The Journey to Bruges 4.A Truthful Adventure 5.New Dresses 6.The Woman at the Store 7.Ole Underwood 8.The Little Girl 9.Millie 10.Pension S???guin 11.Violet 12.Bains Turcs 13.Something Childish But Very Natural 14.An Indiscreet Journey 15.Spring Pictures 16.Late at Night 17.Two Tuppenny Ones, Please 18.The Black Cap 19.A Suburban Fairy Tale 20.Carnation 21.See-Saw 22.This Flower 23.The Wrong House 24.Sixpence 25.Poison
