Knopf. For the many who have been charmed amazed, delighted, with the work 0 / Katherine Mansfield, "The Little Girl" will be an interesting study. It will not be another "Bliss," another "Garden Party," but it will be a very intt·rcsting preface to these. If Katherine Mansfield were alive it is doubtful whether she would have allowed this volume to be published -~ince she is not perhaps you will feel that it is taking an unfair advantage of her tQ do so. It seems to me that there are two justifications for this. First, since there is no possibility of our ever Jw,·i ng anything more from her pen we cannot help feeling that every~ thint:" is significant. As the barest ;kl'tc h of a great painter becomes valuable after his death. ~ccondly, this publishing of the early works as they lead up to her more perfected form gives us an unusual opportunity of studying the de\'clopment of that form. ft is a long way from the not very ~rc·m:lrl<:.ble little story "The Tiredness ···:a,f Rosabel" to the hard polished brilnce of "The Fly." The first was tten when Miss Mansfield was eighteen years old, the latter when she had reached the highest perfection which she was ever allowed to reach, in the months before her death at thirty-four. 1n "The Little Girl" we have Kezia and her incomparable grandmother appearing for the first time. There is a ~uggestion of the subtlety of the later "Prelude" or "At the Bay" and )'l't the strength is not there. These tarly stories have not been lived through enough. Tracing this wonderf ully sure cre'cendo of power, both of spirit and of form makes us realize only more clearly how much we missed when the projected novel which was to grow out of "At the Bay" was never written. formerly wlth Henri Bet~del of New I know of no one elae like hu For further informatitm coMCtnMft{J York. back from m.te of his fishing voyages.
