The Daughters of The Late Colonel

A dazzling short story collection from modernist writer Katherine Mansfield. One of ten pocket-sized paperbacks from Macmillan Collector's Library celebrating the art of the short story.

Discover five stunningly imaginative stories by Katherine Mansfield, one of the twentieth century's most accomplished short story writers.

'The Daughters of the Late Colonel' is a modernist masterpiece of biting wit, following two sisters, Josephine and Constantia, as they struggle to navigate their newfound freedom after the death of their domineering father. This collection also includes 'The Doll's House', 'Marriage à La Mode', 'Germans at Meat' and Mansfield's most famous story, 'The Garden Party', all of which showcase her gorgeously impressionistic style.

This series of pocket-sized paperbacks celebrates the art of the short story and marks Macmillan Collector's Library's 10th anniversary. Each contains a curated selection of short stories from a literary giant: Katherine Mansfield, Arthur Conan Doyle, Edgar Allen Poe, Oscar Wilde, Jane Austen, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Alice Dunbar Nelson, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Rabindranath Tagore.
