''The window panes reflected apples, reflected roses; all the leaves were green in the glass''

Nowhere are Virginia Woolf's daring experimentations with style and form more evident than in her short stories, which shimmer and flash with their author's peculiar genius. Collected by Leonard Woolf and published after her death, this is a complete collection of Virginia Woolf's shorter fiction. It is a fascinating and vivid introduction for readers new to Woolf, and a necessary companion for devotees.

Includes ''A Haunted House'', ''Kew Gardens'', ''A Mark on the Wall'' and 42 other pieces.

Edited, with introductions and notes by Susan Dick.
