The Montana Stories

Contains all the short stories written during the last year of Katherine Mansfield's life at Montana in Switzerland, with a new and lengthy publisher's note.These short stories have never before been published together with unfinished fragments and extracts from the Letters and Journals from those months, and new and detailed editorial notes; nor have the original illustrations that accompanied the stories' first magazine publication been previously reprinted. But by reading everything in strictly chronological order the reader understands the way a writer of genius forced herself on during this astonishingly creative period.
