Prelude & Other Stories by Katherine Mansfield showcases her remarkable ability to delve into the human mind; in stories such as The Garden Party she reveals the tension between innocence and corruption, the dark side of love and romance are explored in Bliss and Love à la Mode, and in the title story, Prelude, inspired by her own childhood, her concern is for the isolated and the lonely.
