These short stories really appealed to me. While not all of them suited my taste, those that did really suited my taste. I like Mansfield's general style a lot. She prefers portraying (brief) scenes from life rather than making convoluted intellectual points.

Some of my favorite stories were The Little Governess (which kept my attention all through; poor girl) and the stories following it. I liked Bliss as well. There were no real bad ones.
