90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books

She drew a long, soft breath, as though the paper daffodils between them were almost too sweet to bear.

Katherine Mansfield was a magician of the short story, whose work was described by Virginia Woolf as 'the only writing I have ever been jealous of'. These eight tales show her gift for transforming fleeting momentsβ€”a chance meeting, a letter received, a careless remarkβ€”into small miracles of language and feeling.
