Book Title : The Garden Party and Other Stories (Oxford Bookworm Library)
Author : Katherine Mansfield (retold by Rosalie Kerr)
Year : 1998
Oh, how delightful it is to fall in love for the first time! How exciting to go to your first dance when you are a girl of eighteen! But life can also be hard and cruel, if you are young and inexperienced and travelling alone across Europe … or if you are a child from the wrong social class … or a singer without work and the rent to be paid.
Set in Europe and New Zealand, these nine stories by Katherine Mansfield dig deep beneath the appearances of the life to show us the causes of human happiness and despair.
