Something Childish

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

First edition (publ. Constable & Co.)

Something Childish and Other Stories is a 1924 collection of short stories by the writer Katherine Mansfield.[1] It was first published in America as The Little Girl.

This anthology was published after her death by her husband John Middleton Murry. Murry wrote in his introductory note that this volume contains the stories written between Bliss: and Other Stories (1920) and The Garden Party: and Other Stories (1922). The additional stories are the earlier first four stories, plus "Sixpence" (which Mansfield thought sentimental) and "Poison".
