In A German Pension

Plot

Katherine Mansfield's First Published Collectiohn Of Stories And Sketches Is Very Different In Tone From Her Later Work. There Is A ... Boisterous, Malicious Quality About These Impatient Tilts At The German Way Of Life In A Bavarian Watering-place. However Unworthy The Author Later Found These Sketches, Such Characters As The Frau Oberregieungsrat Or The Greedy Herr Rat Or The Snobbish Frau Doktor, Have Worn Well And Today Enlist The Reader's Sympathy And Laughter As Often As Does The Rather Prim Narrator--publisher's Description. Germans At Meat -- The Baron -- The Sister Of The Baroness -- Frau Fischer -- Frau Brechenmacher Attends A Wedding -- The Modern Soul -- At Lehmann's -- The Luft Bad -- A Birthday -- The Child-who-was-tired -- The Advanced Lady -- The Swing Of The Pendulum -- A Blaze.
