The Little Governess

The Little Governess is a story by Katherine Mansfield, who is widely recognized as a master of the short story format. Born in New Zealand, Mansfield moved to Europe at the age of 19 and lived in the UK and France. Mansfield was active in modernist literary circles and friends with both DH Lawrence and Virginia Woolf. “I was jealous of her writing — the only writing I have ever been jealous of”, noted Woolf in her journal a week after Mansfield's passing in 1923.

In addition to the short story, this ebook contains a biography of Katherine Mansfield as well as photographs of the author and a selected bibliography of her works.
