Fantastic! I just happened to pick up a ratty old copy in used book store. I'm not necessarily a big short story fan, but these stories really caught my fancy. Katherine Mansfield leaves you lingering more on the characters than the plot, although the plots are not inconsequential. Then I followed up with some reading on the author and found my taste isn't so bad: the only only author Virginia Woolf was ever jealous of! Apparently this book has some of her best work, just before she died at a young age. You will enjoy them and they are short enough to make for great bedtime or naptime reading.
