The Daughters of The Late Colonel

This first volume in the Macmillan Collector’s Library short story series presents five masterful tales by Katherine Mansfield. The title story, 'The Daughters of the Late Colonel,' follows sisters Josephine and Constantia as they confront an uneasy freedom after their overbearing father’s death, a modernist work laced with sharp wit.

The collection also includes Mansfield’s celebrated 'The Garden Party,' along with 'The Doll’s House,' 'Marriage a La Mode,' and 'Germans at Meat.' Each story exhibits her penetrating insight into human psychology. This volume is part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library’s 10th anniversary celebration of the short story, presented in a convenient pocket-sized format for readers of classic literature and short fiction.
